 l.com or call at 803-201-2755\nCelebrate Recovery started in 1991 at Saddl
 eback Church in Lake Forest\, California. At that time\, the church was me
 eting at a high school gymnasium. John Baker wrote Pastor Rick Warren the 
 “now-famous\, concise\, 13-page\, single-spaced” letter outlining the 
 vision God had given John for Celebrate Recovery. After reading John’s l
 etter\, Pastor Rick said\, “Great\, John — go do it!”\nThe first nig
 ht 43 people attended\, and Celebrate Recovery was born. Beginning with on
 ly four Open Share Groups — Men’s and Women’s Chemical Dependency an
 d Men’s and Women’s Codependency — the ministry has grown to over 14
  groups today. Over 27\,000 people have gone through the program at Saddle
 back Church. Many of them are now serving in Celebrate Recovery and the Ch
 urch. Celebrate Recovery is the number one outreach ministry at Saddleback
  Church\, with over 70 percent of its members now coming from outside the 
 church.\nThe first 10 years were the birth stage of Celebrate Recovery\, a
 nd now God is calling us to take it to the world. There are now 35\,000 C
 elebrate Recovery churches around the world\, and that number continues t
 o grow. We are part of a movement that is bringing the healing power of Je
 sus Christ to the hurting and broken through working Celebrate Recovery’
 s Step Studies\, The Journey Begins\, and The Journey Continues. To dat
 e\, over 5 million individuals have completed a Step Study.\nIn addition\,
  Celebrate Recovery is not just growing in churches\, but in recovery hous
 es\, rescue missions\, universities\, and prisons around the world. New Me
 xico was the first state to adopt Celebrate Recovery into its state prison
  system and now has Celebrate Recovery pods in all its state prisons. In A
 ugust 2004\, Celebrate Recovery was announced as California’s state-appr
 oved substance abuse program for prisons. This is an exciting and growing 
 outreach opportunity for every Celebrate Recovery.\nWe are a part of somet
 hing much larger than one church’s Celebrate Recovery. We are part of a 
 movement that God is blessing.
