Welcome to Come Rest Ministries
Come Rest Ministries exists to help people rest in and release Jesus’ love. Matthew 11:28-30 says “Come to Me, all you who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Our goal is to help you live this verse!
“Resting in Jesus’ love is for every moment. It’s the most fruitful thing you can do. As you rest in His love, His presence rests on you and His kingdom advances wherever you go!” -Rev. Dick Speight
