Our passion is to support and assist the mission of the local church.
Our Mission
One of our core values at Love Restores is the local church's place in reaching people with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Another core value for us is the critical role pastors and church leaders play in the local church.
Love Restores mission is to provide resources to church leaders for their personal development and to advance the gospel in their local community. We long to see followers of Jesus living life from a place of heart and soul transformation. We believe that the local church is God's idea and is the primary instrument in reaching the world with His redemption.
About Ron
Growing up in religious setting taught Ron a lot about traditions and behavior conformity. Those religious practices were dry, empty, and without meaning. It was as a teenager that Ron heard the gospel of Jesus Christ through the testimony of professional athlete, Al Worthington, and made the decision to live his life for Christ. Ron could have never imagined the places God would take him. Since that time, his life has been committed to helping others discover the fulfillment of living life full out for Christ.
Ron has pastored churches from coast to coast in the US. In addition to pastoring churches, he has also served as Director of Leadership Enrichment for a non-profit whose mission was to reach business and political leaders with the gospel of Jesus Christ. He has been privileged to speak globally, even honored by being invited into an Islamic Cultural Center in the Middle East to talk on leadership.
Ron attended the University of South Alabama on a baseball scholarship. Later, he attended Toccoa Falls College and Trinity Seminary. He was bestowed an honorary doctorate by Toccoa Falls College in 2001. Ron is a Life Coach with Lifeforming Leadership Coaching and is a certified DiSC trainer.
