Chuck Lehman
CEO

REST Ministries, Inc. was born out of a deep passion to encourage and equip Christians to take the next step in their journey to intimacy with God. God calls us to be in the world but be different than the world! We are to be the “salt” that makes the world thirsty for God's “Living Water.”

My life's desire, is to assist people to become Christians who wholeheartedly seek to develop intimacy with God. Our world needs people willing and wanting to be guided and directed by their faith. My heart is to prepare and support people on this journey.

What made the difference for me?

Sitting at the feet of Jesus…that's it in its simplest form. When I finally learned sitting at His feet was the only thing Jesus said was worth being concerned about (Luke 10:38-42), I finally stopped operating under my own power and started to let God work through me. Sitting at His feet has freed me up to allow Him to accomplish all He has promised in His Word for my life and the ministry.

One of my favorite passages in the Bible is Ephesians 3:20-21. where Paul is giving a blessing of encouragement to the Ephesians…

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!

My Passion

To encourage others to pursue “asking and imagining” what God can do through them (Eph. 3:20) because God can't do “immeasurably more” if we don't ask or imagine.

My Journey

I have seen God do some amazing things, but I'm convinced there are many things He's done that I've missed because I had my focus on other things than Him.  I know and have learned through experience, the more intently (and intentionally) I focus on Him, the more my eyes are open to the wonders of God everyday. 

Pam Thornbloom
Director of Development

It wasn't until I began to practice spending time with God on a daily, monthly & yearly schedule that I began to experience a real thirst for his presence. The more time I spend with God, the deeper our relationship grows. My desire is for others to grasp this understanding and experience His grace, love and mercy with more intensity than they could ever have imagined.
