Name/Number:  13 - Overcomers (formerly Rapha and Trials & Trib Confs)
Description:  From the Hebrew word, Rapha means "healing".  Today in

              step program where their "higher power" is the Lord, Jesus
              Christ.  This conf. is not available to debate Jesus
              Christ as the "higher power" but rather a safe harbor
              for those working a program to encourage others and a
              place for those with questions to seek answers from
              a friend who has been down the same road.

              This Forum will not debate the wordly higher power concept
              and will not allow debate about established groups that wish
              to endorse other than Jesus Christ as their Higher Power.
              It is a place to begin a recovery of any type where Jesus
              Christ is the Higher Power and take those hard steps to walk
              towards healing.
