Board of Directors & Accountability Board
Restoring Hope Ministries is guided by a dedicated team of faithful servants who prayerfully make decisions in accordance with God’s Word.

About Our Board of Directors
The Board of Directors is a working board responsible for oversight of daily operations, strategic planning, and ensuring the ministry fulfills its mission. Each member is expected to uphold the biblical principles of service, prayer, and supplication:
“Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” — Proverbs 16:3
“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.” — Philippians 2:3
