JOIN RU RECOVERY MINISTRIES. BRING FAITH-BASED RECOVERYTO PEOPLE & COMMUNITIES EVERYWHERE.

Addiction affects 1 in 4 people regardless of age, gender, nationality, or status. Our desire is to take the Truth that Makes Free to every man, woman, and child to Break the Chains, and Cycle, of Addiction.

Our Mission

RU Recovery Ministries is a faith-based recovery program bringing transformation to people and communities everywhere.

ONLY JESUS

Our life and our legacy is ONLY JESUS.

ALWAYS COMPASSION

We should ALWAYS show COMPASSION toward people who don’t know Jesus as well as to those who already know Him.
