In 2003, Christopher and Lydia Torres were attending a leadership conference at Pentecostal Tabernacle Church in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It was during this powerful time that God used Reverend John Chandler Cleveland and instructed him to anoint them both into the pastoral ministry. Initially, Chris and Lydia did not want to accept this call and for the next ten years, they offered their gifts and talents to further other ministries and develop their own, which included a powerful marriage ministry. All the while God continued to work on their hearts and patiently prepare them until He gave the order that the time to respond to His call to service had come. Out of God’s faithful prompting and perfect timing, Restoring Life Church was established on September 29, 2013. His call to service became realized. Glory to His name!
