John & Trina, Texas
We have served in ministry for 45 years and were so excited, blessed & honored to stay at The Restoration House near Seaside, Florida. Our hosts Phil & Lou were so kind & so encouraging. In all of our years of ministry, this was the first time we have ever been offered a week of rest & relaxation! It was so wonderful, from the moment we arrived until we left! The house is beautiful & our time sitting on the beach & watching the sun set was our absolute favorite. Most of all, being able to catch our breath, read, and even nap was so needed! We are thankful this home is dedicated for weary ministers to regroup! And again, knowing Phil & Lou’s team prayed for us & were there to encourage us, made the trip perfect! We will never forget that kindness & will always feel honored we got to stay at the Restoration House!
