Our Team
Brent Harrison - Founder and Executive Director
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.
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 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.

Lisa Leeper - Spiritual Director & Companion on the Journey
Lisa would love to companion with anyone who is…
Curious about what God is up to in their lives
In need of a listening ear
Open to hearing God speak
Wanting a friend on the journey
Even as a child, Lisa heard the spirit of God calling to her. This call led Lisa, as she was finishing her senior year at the University of Georgia, to call off a pending engagement, quit interviewing in the marketplace, and follow the call into vocational ministry.
Lisa has been a participant in spiritual direction, both in individual and group settings, since 2010. She recently completed a certificate program in spiritual direction and has had the privilege of sitting alongside others as their spiritual Director for several years.
She has served in vocational Christian ministry on college campuses and been a leader of groups in churches and in spiritual formation ministries over the years. She currently serves on the pastoral advisory board in her local church and help leads spiritual formation groups via a parachurch ministry in her area. She is also currently in the process of getting her certification in Narrative Focused Trauma Care.
Lisa has been married for over 40 years to Brad and is finding that marriage gets even better with age. She and Brad are parents to two outstanding daughters who chose fantastic husbands. They would do anything for their five amazing grandchildren. Lisa loves a good book, sharing coffee with friends, and cheering on the UGA Bulldogs. Traveling, especially with the extended family, excites the adventurous spirit Lisa’s still getting to know.
