Description of Restoring the Foundations (RTF) Ministry
The RTF Ministry is a ministry to:
- Christian Leadership
- Potential leadership
- All who are searching for personal transformation / holiness
The ministry consists of five sessions for each individual (3 hours each), over either a few days or a week’s
duration. Additional joint sessions (approx. 6 hours) before and after the individual sessions are scheduled for a married
couple. We have seen RTF ministry restore many marriages.
It is our heart’s desire that this be a "safe" place where you will receive healing and freedom and experience God’s
deep love and care for you.
The ministry is led by the Holy Spirit and flexible in format.

The Four Ministry Areas
Sins of the Fathers and the Resulting Curses (SOFC): This problem is rooted in the 2nd commandment (Ex 20:3-6), where
God visits "the iniquities of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generations." God requires us to confess
our ancestor's sin as well as our own (Lev 26:40). We help the ministry receiver focus on the confession of sin (I Jn 1:9)
and appropriation of Christ's finished work on the Cross to break curses (Gal 3:13) and recover "legal ground" from the enemy
(Col 2:14).
- Ungodly Beliefs (UGB): All of us inherit UGBs from our ancestors (i.e., parents, grandparents), as well as forming them
from life's circumstances. These UGBs need to be changed into Godly Beliefs (GB). This can be accomplished through a procedure
of repentance and of renewing our mind (Rom 12:2).
- Soul/Spirit Hurts (SSH): Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted (Lk 4:18). As we "Wait upon the Lord" with "Listening Prayer,"
He heals the hurts of our soul and spirit. He shows us what He wants to heal, and then, after we take care of necessary forgiveness
and releasing, He heals what He has shown.
- Demonic Oppression (DO): After we have "co-labored with Christ" to bring freedom and healing to the first three ministry
areas in our lives, the various demonic strongholds oppressing us can be disassembled and destroyed (Mk 16:17).
