STL RESTORATION CHURCH

Donna & Johnny are some of the most loving people I have ever met. They are truly doing work for the Lord, and are bringing so many people to Jesus through their obedience. Are people perfect, nope. So all the haters just need to move along. This is a nonprofit addiction ministry that gets no government funding, so if you see them out and about, have an open heart ♥

I was a member of this Church. Donna Bell's group home saved my life! God used Donna Bell..I watched him speak through her. Joey Rivas was Pastor..and although I walked away because of him. God showed me Donna and Johnny Bell are True servants of The Lord.

Spoke with a very positive and friendly man while out for a drive, thank you all so much for the work you do!

Good people and a good pastor

Called ahead to offer a good donation but could not leave a message. Got a text that I replied to to set up a time to stop by. Went there at my suggested time. No one was there to be able to meet with me. I waited for quite some to get some kind of response but nothing occurred.

My daughter left Virginia to attend Saving the Lost Restoration Church in Saint Louis, MO, at 7421 S Broadway. She was persuaded to join while still under the influence of drugs she sought to overcome. Given a ticket and put on a bus, she found herself 14 hours away from home. Upon sobering up, she realized the program was not what she expected, being a year-long commitment far from her child.

Despite expressing her desire to leave, she was informed it was a year-long program, and no assistance would be provided to return to Virginia. When the church headed to South Carolina, she was denied the opportunity to leave with them. Attempts to coordinate a ride back to Virginia were met with arrogance from the church contact.

My daughter was left at a laundromat upon her request and has been out of contact for two days. Last time we spoke, I told my daughter get in contact with the local police and social services to explain exactly what happened and ask for help. She is was told by the church program that she has to be in the program for 30 days before she could get any sort of benefits in the area.

I am deeply concerned about her well-being in a city where she lacks support. The church, aside from its promotional materials, remains elusive. It's concerning that individuals are persuaded to join the program while undergoing detox without adequate planning for potential challenges.

I implore anyone in the St. Louis area to assist in bringing her home. It's crucial she receives the necessary help in a safe and comfortable environment. This situation raises concerns about the church's readiness to provide effective support. If leaving is not an option, at the very least, they should provide resources such as shelter information. My daughter was abandoned without such assistance.

My son went to the mission program to help get clean. They stole most of his tools that they wanted him to bring so he could fix up the van. Claimed somebody broke in and stole them. Refused to give me a police report.

Sick of their overly aggressive panhandlers trying to sell candy and getting in my face when I am trying to drive. Find a legal way to make money.

Don't want your candy for donations, don't want some creep forcing conversation or dancing manically by my window then shoving fliers in my car.
