Who we are
Restore in the Bible means to bring back to the original intent. God has an original intent and design for each of us, uniquely and perfectly created in His image (Psalm 139). He invites us to know more of Him and more of ourselves in Him, so that we can live fully and freely, just as we were created to be.
Restore Ministries International (RMI) joins God in His work to help you, your marriage, your ministry or business, to get back to its original intent. Whether it was lost, stolen, suppressed or never fully realized, let us join you in your journey of following Jesus to experience His presence, peace and freedom again!
It is for Freedom sake, Christ has set us free! - Galatians 5:1
Our Story
Experience Missions International, Inc (EMI) began in 2005 with a call from the Lord to help local churches move missions from a program of the church to a lifestyle of its people. We have trained, equipped and led over 75 international mission teams, and have seen God do what only He can do!
Through the course of our journey we realized a very common thread… churches we partnered with both in the U.S. and abroad knew how to “do church” but very few knew how to “be the church”. The result of this is an increased number of consumer Christians, and less and less discipled followers of Jesus. This has led to division and disunity in the church, and left many people in the church to feel lost, confused, lonely, hurt. This includes some of our best and most gifted Pastors and Ministry Leaders.
In 2022, we felt the Lord calling us to engage this on a very practical level. He gave us a new vision and mission, and a new name - Restore Ministries International. Our call is simple… to join Him in restoring all things to Himself, beginning with the body of Christ. Those who are ready to experience God’s healing, presence, peace, freedom, joy, and the abundant life He has promised us in our everyday lives on earth, just as it is in Heaven.

Our Founder and Executive Director - Brent Harrison
After graduating the University of Georgia in 2000 with a business degree, and beginning a successful career in sales, Brent’s life was radically changed by an encounter with Jesus on a mission trip to Peru in 2003. Just two years later, in 2005, God called Brent to leave the business world and form Experience Missions International, now Restore Ministries International.
Brent is a licensed, ordained Pastor, a certified Life Coach, and a classically trained Spiritual Director. He has worked on local church staffs providing pastoral care, discipleship and missions leadership. He has led and facilitated over 75 Mission Trips around the world and loves engaging the global church, pastors and missionaries around the world.
Brent has a beautiful, creative wife, Rebekah, and two amazing children, Avery and Brooks, who are his treasures from the Lord. They enjoy traveling, being at the pool, the lake, the beach, watching movies, playing games and being with family and friends.
