Rev. Mary E Utley--Rev.Corrie A. Fowler
Our First Ministry, Evangelistic Bridges, Inc. was started July 31, 1989. Our vision was to be a “Repairer of the Breach” and to “Show the Love of Jesus” to All People; encouraging and giving hope to the fainthearted of our God given birthright “The Blessing”.
In the past we have visited multiple Churches “Showing the Love of Jesus” and Bridging the Gap in the following areas: Women in the Ministry/Pulpit, making accommodations for Hearing Impaired/Deaf People, People living with AIDS/HIV, Handicap Accessibility and the acceptance of ALL People in the Church . Currently we are Under the Covering of Changed Life International Ministries, Inc. where the Senior Pastor is Apostle D. Anthony Robinson.
Our Second Ministry, Refreshing Bridges, Inc. is a Dream the Lord had put in Our Hearts in 2008. It will be a Safe Place where ALL people can come for healing and restoration of Spirit, Soul and Body.
It will be a Place where small Ministries can minister in Song, Praise Dances, Hand Praises and Preaching so we take every opportunity to lift up the Name of Jesus.
The First Part, the Convention Center, will be a meeting place to have Christian Concerts, Church Conferences, Revivals, etc. for a “Minimal Charge"; to accommodate small Ministries.
The second part of the Vision will be Cabins laid out in Rustic Style, each different and unique. Here the participants, "out of town Evangelists, Ministers and Musicians" can come; be refreshed and able to lodge for a “Minimal Charge". There will be accommodations for visitors pets.
We are planning for an "Open Air Chapel", Amphitheater and outside Intercom that will keep the atmosphere filled with praise. There will also be a Deaf School on the grounds.
There will be a “Big House”, in a Bed and Breakfast type setting, where seasoned saints can retire for a “Minimal Charge” per month.
There will be a place for people on “Disability” to reside at a “Minimal Charge” in a Cabin or the “Big House“.
Our desire is to create a “Safe Place” to live for those who have been made to feel "Unwanted” by the Traditional Church.
As the Lord leads and directs us, we will be moving forward in Refreshing Bridges, Inc. to establish this Place of Healing and Restoration.
