Welcome

Release Ipswich seeks to help individuals who are subject to addictive behaviour to find the release and wholeness available in Christ.

It aims to do this by:

• Praying against the supply and misuse of illegal substances and anything promoting harmful behaviour, and praying for those affected by any sort of compulsive or addictive behaviour.

• Promoting a better understanding amongst Christians of compulsive and addictive behaviour, preparing them to mentor those who need help.

• Befriending, encouraging positive choices, teaching the Christian faith and nurturing relationships with Christ. "... A Crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair" (Isaiah 61:3).

In practice, Release Ipswich is involved with:

• Drugs awareness education (in schools and working with adults)

• Befriending those struggling with eating disorders (this work is known as “Restore”)

• Creation of a Christian Therapeutic Community near to Ipswich (known as “Talitha Koum”)
