A Bridge of Hope Ministries

Mission Statement
”For I know the plans that I have for you”, declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11

Our ministry is one of Restoration, Marriage, Diversity, Empowerment, and beyond. Through the collaborative gifts and teachings of both Daryl & Kimberly, they touch on the sensitive issues that affect today’s men & women, marriages, and families. We address such topics as the traditional family, the roles of husbands & wives, deliverance from all forms of abuse (including sexual abuse), empowerment, and edification through Jesus Christ.

Vision
“I am the Vine: you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him, bears much fruit. Apart from Me you can do nothing.” John 15:5

We know that God has designed each person with a specific purpose and a destiny. Our vision is to help people to be freed from their pasts, empower them to reach for the stars, so that they can indeed live the life that God has ordained for them.
