There are many different type of Christian communities and programs, but as part of a global influences for mental illness and substance abuse issues it is important for us to ensure that each and every one are obtaining the necessary information and serves, they are seeking.
Here at Bro-Hun Recovery Outreach & Ministries we strive to:
- Be Authentic: Let your unique personality and passion shine through.

- Make it Easy: give direct answers and information.
- Show, Don’t Just Tell: Visuals are powerful for demonstrating community.
- Be Mobile-Friendly: Ensure all information can be obtain either on tablet or phone and computers as well.
Ours is not a mindless, check-your-brain-at-the-door kind of faith. No. We believe that we are called to keep exploring and investigating truth, humbly—to study Scripture, to ask tough questions and to pray for wisdom. Because the foundation of our faith is truth.
We truly believe that every church, ministries, outreach and faith base organization no matter the size or location, can make an intentional and deliberate decision to become a caring and compassionate sanctuary for people with mental illness and their families. Often people with mental illness feel excluded from their biological family for a variety of reasons; their suffering is compounded when they are also excluded from the warmth of the fellowship of the Body of Christ – sometimes overtly, but more often than not, by unawareness or neglect.
Frequently the excuse, “But we’re not a large church; we don’t have a lot of resources” is used to justify a lack of care and support for the mentally ill. However, no money, resources or training are required to have a heart of compassion like our Savior. Yes, there is a cost to caring – it requires us to let go of self-centeredness, ignorance, fear and apathy and move towards our brothers and sisters with arms extended in radical friendship and love.
Help with the Basic Needs of People with Mental Illness and Their Families
Because we have a mandate from God to care for the physical, spiritual, and emotional needs of people, every church must become intentional about ministering to people with mental illness in tangible ways. Mental illness is often referred to the “no casserole” illness. Most congregations, programs or outreach platforms provide for the practical needs of individuals and families who have ongoing medical issues or who are experiencing life transitions such as moving, a job loss, or pregnancy or death of a loved one. In a similar way, volunteers can show up in the lives of people with mental illness by providing meals, helping with household chores, and offering rides to doctor’s appointments. Meeting practical needs does not need to cost money. By offering a little spare time, and commitment, these actions speak volumes to those who often feel lonely and forgotten.
