-I am not just called to provide a service or give a message. I am called to bear the image of Jesus, to carry the heart of Jesus and to bring His presence. Through discernment, and the Holy Spirit, I am called to lovingly, humbly carry your heart to the cross, just as I have been to the cross and transformed.
A Restoring River
that purifies the heart
I am committed to empowering Christians to live healed, whole and transformed lives; healing and restoring the wounds of the heart, helping people to overcome blockages to their spiritual life so that they can powerfully live in step with and aligned with the Holy Spirit. Having been trained mainly through Elijah House School of Prayer Ministry, I carry that original vision and model for repentance, transformation and sanctification of our lives through the power of the Cross. I also have been profoundly influenced through the continued training, ministry, healing and mentorship of Mark and Maureen Sandford at Elijah Rain Ministries as well as advanced training and ministry through Thea Loughery at Transformed Hearts Ministries . My learning through the courses and people at Streams Ministries; as well as Sylvia Gunter @ My Fathers Business, and attending two Captivating retreats with Staci and John Eldridge as well as so many others, have all tremendously influenced my sense of living life fully from the wellspring of my heart and how to be led by the Holy Spirit.
Deeply indebted for my Christian upbringing, I have been wholeheartedly pursuing God for over 55 years. My deep foundation of a heart for the nations has been laid down by numerous unnamed mentors and teachers that live in passionate pursuit of God and for His story to be told to the nations. Those people can not be left out of my own story but their impact on my own ministry indescribable. My earlier days in the Navigator Collegiate Ministry gave a foundation to not only study the word of God deeply but shepherd and disciple others from a place of the heart.
Restoring River....
…is a ministry that has its training roots from these places I mention above, but my heart has been molded by many, most of all Jesus Christ and His Word.
… is a ministry that heals issues at the root of where they first began in our hearts. The root cause of many struggles and behavior in our lives lies in how we reacted to wounds and and trauma in childhood. Our decisions from childhood are many times unknowingly wrapped up in unforgiveness, and hidden ways that we have tried to protect ourselves to ever be hurt that way again. Restoring River is a ministry that heals those wounds at the root, carrying the root cause to the cross in forgiveness, a heart of repentance, renunciation so there is ressurection life and restoration to live a life Jesus intended so there is full, and total healing.
Restoring River....
…is a ministry that holds intimacy to Jesus and His presence as the highest priority, and I seek be led by the Holy Spirit every step of the way- loving people, and holding their heart as God would hold it, in love, honor and empathy. Jesus cried with Mary when needed and led people to repentance when it was the right time with a heart of gentleness, meekness, love and grace. I stand at the cross with you, needing to be like Jesus. He who is forgiven much, loves much.
… is a ministry with a goal to heal, transform and restore the broken places of people's hearts and lives as God’s forms them into to the image of what He has designed them to be. As God heals through the power of the cross in repentance and forgiveness for root causes of behavior, the Holy Spirit transforms lives-
I am called to connect with the heart of God and with the hearts of people - carrying their burdens to the cross with God's for restoration, transformation and sanctification-- helping them transform, and to live from their original design - healed and whole.
I desire to shape both individuals, ministries and churches to carry on this call of inner healing and transformation, providing training for others to do the same.
