Texarkana Assists in Restoring Hope

TEXARKANA, TEX. – The Texarkana Seventh-day Adventist Church has become involved with Restoration of Hope, a Christ-centered halfway house for men.
Brenda Litchfield, personal ministries director, is assisted by her husband, Dennis Litchfield, and Zach White, a captain with the Texarkana Arkansas Police Department. This team holds Bible study twice a week with 25 to 30 men, a group that changes every 90 days when the men graduate and move home.
The goal of the personal ministry team is to plant the seed, trusting that as we pray for these men, the Holy Spirit will continue to lead them in their lives. The church will continue to pray for these men as they study.
The personal ministry team uses the church van to transport several men each week to attend Sabbath services. One of the Bible study graduates, Chris Lunsford, was baptized on Jan. 4.
This ministry provides spiritual nourishment and offers the hope of transformation, showing the power of God's love to restore lives. As these men continue their journey, the church remains committed to walking alongside them, offering support and guidance as they grow in their faith.
