Cheri Peters is an awsome tribute to what God's love can do! At times we all think that our life is as bad as it can get, until you hear the story of her life and how God found her where she was. There are no word to describe the inspiration that she is. Anyone would be blessed by watching her series and personal ministries that she does for those that have addictions or for anyone for that matter.
God is Good!!! Gene

I read both her books and saw her in person at a celibrating recovery seminar two towns over. She is changing ever so slowly my perception of GOD. Which I need desperatly. p r a i s e G O D!!
The 12 step group I attend was directly started by her ministry but the ministers wife has turned it into a sabbath school class. we started out with 12 people(3 men and 9 woman) and now its just me and her. The men left first now it seems no one else wants to come.
The ministers wife is very nice and positive but is very judgemental though she dont think she is. She loves JESUS!
soooooo... Its not a safe place. Twice I have meekly confronted her and she dont understand. I confront out of desperation not wanting the 12 step group to dissapate, Not cause i want to confront a 60 something old ministers wife.
early on SDA doctrine was introduced on the slide by the dear Ministers wife and a few felt they were in the wrong place- they were just desperate to reach out not to join a church
I am hanging in there! we started almost three months ago. I was previously going to a 12 step sex and love addicts meeting but no chrsitians there and I wanted christian fellowship so bad(I have no fellowship at my country church). So I was so thrilled to have an SDA christian 12 step group!!!!! YAHOOOO!
But the group quickly has gone down hill.
It was like we had to share our problems at the first few meeting THEN quickly follow up with nothing but praise reports or it would seem we are blaspheming the Holy Spirit and question our sincerity. almost like here!
i am the working poor and it is costly to drive so far once a week
so its just me and the ministers wife! and I will keep going! and hopefully wont buckle under the pressure by her and and put on a CHRISTIAN HETERO MASK there also
one in 20 in our churches wont be saved huh? i believe it!

O it is Cherie!!!!!
Its so nice to see you here. I know u are busy and cant be here alot.

Shane has repeatedly offered me to look into the 12 step group on this forum but I dont see it as safe by the people I have met here.
