It is founded on the conviction that no matter how desperate life's challenges may be, in Jesus Christ there is always solid reason to be optimistic.
Overcomers recognizes the difficulty of imparting that optimism by words alone.
Words must originate from someone who has overcome a difficulty viewed as equal or worse than the one in question. Therefore Overcomers is ultimately a networking ministry, connecting those in distress with others farther down the rugged road they are traveling.
