About Overcomer’s Home Healthcare
Overcomer’s located at 1831 E. 71st Street, in Tulsa, is the brainchild of Timmetha Harris. While attending church, Harris said she was inspired by a message from her pastor, which motivated her to step out in faith and follow God’s plan for her life by serving people. As a nurse, Harris said she “uses her faith, inspired heart and skills to nurture people back to health, while leading and empowering her staff to first seek God in all that they do and second, serve people with their hearts.” Their mission states, taken from Acts. 20:35, is “In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
