	Program We began working with the 12 Steps progam in February 2001. This program is a wonderful tool that God uses to bring healing and recovery to people with various addictions and problems, miraculously changing their lives. 12 Steps is a group process which requires mush time and pateince. The goal of our 12 Steps program is to help people find inner peace and balance on the basis of the biblical principles and help them grow into emotionally and spiritually healthy persons. You can find out more about the goals, principles and methods of the Christian 12 Steps program in the workbook «12 Steps to Life» by Helge Zeekamp.
	Letter to Pastors …the Christian 12 Steps program has already proved its effectiveness throughout many decades, showing itself a helpful and much-needed tool, allowing different people to come to God for healing, often for the first time. Working and serving within this program is a difficult and responsible task; not many are capable of it, and 12 Steps group leaders from your congregations really need your understanding and spiritual support. …one of the main constituents of success is effective communication, truly open and honest, coupled with the willingness to hear, understand, forgive and accept one another. That is why we would like to ask you from the start: if you happen to have any apprehension, confusion or doubt in connection with the 12 Steps ministry, please come and talk to us about it! As coordinators of the 12 Steps ministry in Nizhny Novgorod, we have tried to do everything possible to enhance your understanding and appreciation of the program, and in the future will be happy to provide any additional information, answer your questions or help discuss and resolve complex issues and situations.
