The Curt Nordhielm family joined the staff of RHM in 1999, with Curt developing church plants among the ethnic groups of New England. With the partnership of many churches and individuals, God has accomplished the following through RHM: Education and Intern Programs 30 college classes have been offered the last eight years. 58 Interns have served in area churches the last nine years. Thirteen Interns returned to serve in one-year Resident Ministry positions in New England churches. Five have been hired for full-time positions.

During 2006, teams are being formed for two church plants: The Boston Partnership is scheduled to launch in the fall with four team members moving to the city in September 2005. In addition, four or five campus ministries will be started to impact the educational mecca of the world. The Providence Project begins forming its team to launch the first Anglo Christian church in Rhode Island. From 1999 to the end of 2005, Restoration House Ministries has been privileged to assist in the birth of twelve new churches. 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.
