Reformers Unanimous Addiction Program

Reformers Unanimous began in April, 1996, with just one student. That person left after one week, and the next four weeks were spent teaching just spouses. After those weeks four new people began to attend (Jill, Gene, Todd, and Kevin). These four attended for the next two years. They became the foundation that we would build on: food addiction, crack cocaine, alcohol, and pornography. Four different people, four crippling addictions, yet only one need: Jesus Christ! We began to grow as the Truth began to set people free.

In year two the addition of counsel leaders and group counsel time to support the students during the week caused Reformers to grow exponentially. In 1999 Brother Curington authored the beginning curriculum: a program guide of the weekly lessons and tapes to follow along, and a handbook that encourages students to read the Bible, memorize the Bible, study the Bible (essays), and hear the Bible (church attendance). These a became the building blocks that Christ uses to change lives. The attendance began to explode.

In 2000 the acquisition of suitable housing allowed us to begin ministering to non-functioning addicts from around the country. Other chapters began to spring up throughout the states, and even in the Philippines. In 2001 we completed a line of workbooks to go with the handbook, began an award system to encourage participation (1 Corinthians 3:12,14), set goals of ten new Chapters per year and, most importantly,had our founder, Steve Curington, enter the ministry full time.
