FAQ: What is Restoration Ministries?

Restoration Ministries is a faith-based organization, founded in 1987. Our mission is to see all people living lives free from the bondages caused by hurt, fear, doubt, and a myriad of other “broken foundations.” We believe regardless of your past (or current situation) that a life rooted in peace and joy and love is available to you – a life lived the way God intended for us.

Each of us have areas in which we struggle. Some of us are keenly aware of our shortcomings: the addict who so badly wants to break free, the pastor secretly struggling with a porn addiction, the Christian wrestling with their faith. Others feel the symptoms of a life lived with a broken foundation, but they don’t know why, or more importantly how to fix it. We envision the life we want to live, but we don’t know how to get there.

Restoration is the bridge from where we are to where we want to be. What Ed teaches in Restoration was not learned in classroom or through textbook, but rather a journey he personally walked and has successfully lived out for more than three decades. And it hasn’t only had success in his own life, but also in the lives of others. It doesn’t matter what walk of life you come from. It doesn’t matter whether you have been a Christian your whole life or if you are just beginning to pursue this thing called religion. The message of Restoration will meet you wherever you are.

If you are unsure whether you need Restoration or not, we challenge you to truthfully ask yourself these questions:

  • Do I struggle with anger? Do I wish I didn’t yell at my kids, spouse, or others?
  • Am I anxious?
  • Do I view God as anything other than a loving Father?
  • Is there an area of my life which I keep hidden from others?
  • Do I wrestle with feelings of shame, guilt or insecurity?
  • Is there anyone in my life I have not forgiven?
  • Do I trust God’s good intentions for me?
  • Do I depend more on the “rules” of Christianity rather than on Christ himself?

If you answered “yes” to any of these, there’s a good chance your life is built on a shaky foundation. Salvation makes us right with God, but Christ died for so much more than only the forgiveness of sin. He died for your freedom. So what do you say? Are you ready to live free?
