Bob and Carol Miller moved to New England to form the Support Staff Ministry. They offer support to the ministry teams of the churches, training for church leaders, and resources for the churches. They also assist with hospitality at the Restoration House.

We continue to be amazed at the doors God is opening for church planting in New England and are grateful to be used by Him in ways only He could foresee. Click <here> to return to the Home page.
