Let the Wind of the Spirit blow as a fresh breeze in your life!
Come to RESTORE and experience:
- Freedom as you discover the root of your emotional eating
- Clarity on why you sabotage your efforts towards a healthy weight
- A safe haven for spending time with the Lord
- Christ-centered teaching
- Healing through prayer
- Calm from the presence of the Holy Spirit
- An ancient practice, we invite you to come away with Jesus, by yourselves “to a quiet place and get some rest” (Mark 6:31). Be restored.
Special Message from our Keynote Speaker Jennifer Kennedy Dean to You!
I’ve been there. I know what it feels like when food runs your life. I know the feeling of failure. I never thought I’d see the day when I could say that food no longer has any hold on my life. But that day has come. Several years ago, I simply found that God had healed the stronghold that food had become in my life. For a while, I couldn’t explain it. It just was so. But with some years to process the changes, I believe I can now share with you the strategy God used to set me free. It’s not that I finally found a diet that I want you to go on. It’s not that I finally found the secret to exercising self-control. The key to my healing is not in controlling my behavior, but in finding a freedom within that changed my behavior.
A popular speaker and writer, Gari travels the globe speaking at conferences, retreats, and events for women. Her highly acclaimed books, workbook, and DVD series Spirit Hunger, Watershed Moments, Truly Fed, and Be Free are used in book groups and churches across the country.
Gari is President and Founder of The Vine—a ministry to orphans and widows in Uganda, and SHINE—a trendy YouTube show she hosts with her daughter Ally. She is married to former New York Yankees Bobby Meacham, and together they have three children. Bobby and Gari have been in professional baseball for over thirty years and call Houston their home.

What do people say about the FP4H Wellness Week?
Food was terrific & so good for us! Thanks for your hard work and for giving us the recipes as well! I can’t wait to try them at home!
God has breathed new life into me. I have been refreshed, filled up where I was empty and been shown where I have been weak, lazy, disobedient or plain wasting both my time and His.
Helped me slow down and reflect. Gave me ideas to take home – food and exercise. A fun time.
Given me peace & freedom from burdens of anger, hatred and un-forgiveness. Reminded me of the purpose for setting goals. Surrounded me with much love & encouragement.
