                                           RHEMI HISTORY

Restoration House Empowerment Ministries International, affectionately known as RHEMI,  was founded in 2006 by Pastors Anthony and Carla Mays.  Services were held in the living room of their home with less than 10 members.   With a small and humble beginning, Pastors Anthony and Carla were determined to continue in the assignment God had charged them with. It wasn’t long before God led others to RHEMI.  This now budding ministry soon grew too large for the living room. Pastor Mays began to seek God for a new place for the church to worship.

 

The first move for RHEMI was a blessing in disguise; a small space connected to the back of Pastor Mays’ business office: 639 East Ocean Ave suite 103. Standing on the scripture Matt 6:33 “Seek ye first the kingdom of God”, RHEMI began to impact not only the members inside but families and individuals abroad.    Church at “639” holds powerful and unforgettable memories for the RHEMI family.  It is these memories that laid a foundation for who we are today.    As the Rhemi family grew, there was an outpouring of blessings, testimonies of healing, restoration, and deliverance.  People began to get excited about church again.  God was causing RHEMI to walk out its name “Restoration”.

In June 2008, Golf View Harbor Clubhouse became the second move for RHEMI.  It was a quick move and the church never missed a beat.  Like Joshua, Restoration House went in and possessed the land.  

 

On October 1st, 2009 RHEMI Moved to 2015 South federal highway,  Boynton Beach Florida.   In October 2011, RHEMI began to Stream LIVE, spreading the gospel  through the internet to thousands. In August of 2013, RHEMI’s  new TV show Restoration Now began airing on Christian Television Network (CTN).  

In July 1, 2019 Rhemi Nation Purchased its current Location Address: 200 Sterling Ave. Delray Beach Fl.

(Formally Bar & Ferg Academy)

 

Today RHEMI functions with over 20 Ministries of  Helps, with emphasis on community outreach, services,  education, fellowship, the arts and media.

RHEMI Church is covered by Ruach Ministries (Patris Fellowship) under the leadership of Bishop John Francis, Brixton London UK. 

RHEMI endeavors to be  A Church where lives are changed, love is felt, God is seen and hearts are restored.
