Issue Focused Ministry Session - RTF

Issue-Focused Ministry Sessions

Our Issue-Focused Ministry Sessions, lasting approximately three hours, provide a concentrated, faith-based approach to addressing specific challenges impacting your life. These sessions focus on identifying and resolving generational patterns of sin (Exodus 20:5-6), unbiblical beliefs (Romans 12:2), emotional wounds (Psalm 147:3), and spiritual oppression (Ephesians 6:12). Through prayer and biblical truth application, these sessions promote spiritual growth, healing, and alignment with God’s Word to glorify Him in every area of life.

Restoring The Foundations (RTF)
Restoring The Foundations (RTF), established by Chester and Betsy Kylstra, is a biblically-based ministry that addresses life’s challenges through a Christ-centered framework. RTF focuses on four key areas of healing: generational sins, ungodly beliefs, life’s hurts, and spiritual oppression. Every session is rooted in Scripture and guided by prayer, confession, and the renewing power of the Holy Spirit. Encounter God’s Promise adheres to the doctrinal standards of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors (ACBC), ensuring all counseling practices are firmly rooted in biblical truth.

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to PREACH THE GOSPEL to the poor; He has sent me to HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED, to PROCLAIM LIBERTY to captives and RECOVERY OF SIGHT to the blind, to SET AT LIBERTY those who are oppressed; to PROCLAIM THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD.”
~ Luke 4:18-19

Biblical Counseling

The goal of our Biblical Counseling sessions are to address the brokenness caused by the curse of sin, which impacts both the soul and the body. Through a process that encompasses salvation, justification, sanctification, and glorification, you are guided towards spiritual transformation and renewal. This journey aids in correctly understanding your God-given identity and leads to effective change, conforming the heart to the image of Christ as revealed by the Holy Spirit. My approach is deeply rooted in Biblical truth and philosophy, aiming for transformative healing. I affirm the Bible as the authoritative Word of God.”

As a biblical counseling ministry, we are committed to upholding the doctrinal standards of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors (ACBC), ensuring every practice is rooted in the truth of God’s Word.
