Our Foundations

Restoration Network International was birthed out of Cornerstone Church and Ministries International in 2011. What follows are some of the early convictions and experiences that have shaped our ministry. Our goal at RNI is to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit today while building on the understanding and revelation of those who have paved the way before us.

CHAPTER ONE

Early Beginnings

Like we all do, Cornerstone has a past. And in order to know our heart it is necessary to know something about that past. Since I was so much a part of the beginning of Cornerstone the story also includes aspects of my past that have helped in the shaping of the church and ministry. Especially in the early days of planting and developing the church my story and the church story tend to blend together making it difficult to distinguish one from the other. Actually, it’s all part of the same story. So why is it important for people to know about the past? You have probably heard the saying, “If you don’t know where you have come from, you probably won’t know where you are going.” It may also be true that you won’t know where you are. Knowing our history gives us a perspective on the present and future that otherwise would not be possible. We have found that a major obstacle to spiritual growth that many believers face is failure to adequately come to terms with their past.
