SOZO Restoration Ministries’ vision is to be a multi-faceted ministry that comes alongside the churches and individuals to bring education, healing, restoration, and freedom through ministry schools; mentoring, dedicated Biblical counseling and personal ministry; and a unique Christian business model apprenticeship program.

Our ministry and discipleship E-courses and seminars are focused on spiritually growing individuals and groups into mature Believers & up-and-coming seasoned Christian leaders through discipleship, mentoring, and apprenticeship programs which equip them to bring healing, restoration, and freedom to the Body of Christ locally and abroad in group and one-on-one ministry.

Our Biblical counseling and inner healing center provide one-on-one Biblical counseling by certified Biblical counselors, as well as the training up of personal ministry teams for inner healing ad deliverance work within the local church body and ministry settings. Many find such significant healing demonstrated through our ministry that they become part of our schools, training and ministry teams.

Our ministries and professional partnership program, called MAPPS, is program to help launch people into the ministry and/or market-place ministry businesses that the Lord has laid on their hearts to impact people’s lives for the Kingdom of God. We offer support Christian entrepreneurs and Ministers in a variety of ways…i.e. spiritual counseling, providing prayer covering, administrative help, setting up financial systems, technical support and more as they begin their new business and or ministries. Through our apprenticeship program MAPPS participants gain foundational principles of spiritual and personal integrity, character and financial accountability required to be successful in their God-given passions and destiny to make an impact in their communities. Our goal is to provide Godly support this “birthing” God-dreams and walking with our MAPPS’ partners until they can stand on their own. We believe this is how God intends the Body of Christ to function.

What is SOZO?

The verb “sōzō” has three meanings in the New Testament:

(1) Save… to cause someone to experience divine salvation—‘to save’ (restoration of the spirit)

(2) Make whole… to rescue from danger and to restore to a former state of safety and well being (restoration of the soul)

(3) Heal… to cause someone to become well again after having been sick (restoration of the body)

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved (sōzō…spirit, soul, & body) through Him. ~ John 3:17 ESV
