Hello

Karen and Richard Soikkeli have been serving and training others in “Isaiah 61 Life” inner healing/restoration ministries for about 14 years with various Christian organizations

including serving on the ministry team with Hearts Set Free Ministries with Dr Charles

Kraft 13 years, and other teams/churches including Vineyard Yorba Linda, Blessed International Revival Center, North Hills Assemblies of God, a number of international churches of various denominations.

 

We believe that nothing in this life compares with the experience of personally

encountering Jesus, by the Holy Spirit, and receiving God's wonderful cleansing,

restoration and abundant life He wants us to have (Isaiah 61, Luke 4:18). Greater intimacy with God is the ultimate goal for all of of our ministry.  Intimately knowing Him is the ultimate plan Heavenly Father has for all of us, through Christ Jesus (John 17:3).

 

We love the biblical “tools” that help free us from difficult negative effects of brokenness and

destructive patterns in our lives with God’s love and grace (plus deeper relationship with

Him)!  The ministries of “restoring our soul and guiding our paths into righteousness for

His name’s sake” (Psalm 23:3) is fundamental to that wonderful work of Christ (Isaiah

61:1-3)! This is the ministry every believer is invited to receive and to do; receiving for

ourselves the wholeness Christ gives including intimate relationship with God, and

facilitating Christ’s redemptive work in others!

 

Though we have followed the Lord in various ministry roles over the past 40 years, it

was during this past decade that we personally experienced breakthroughs resulting in

the greatest freedom and intimacy in God’s love through these biblical “keys” God

provides. Our own journey, together with being a part of amazing teams of believers

who have helped us along the way, has led to this amazing “Isaiah 61 Life” ministry of

Jesus.  In this journey, we have also received pastoral licensing through "Communion With God Ministries" with credentialling through Dr. Mark Virkler's Christian Leadership University (2 year program for us).

 

Who doesn’t want to experience more of the deep love of Christ and the Heavenly

Father?! We are passionate to see multiplication of people receiving and learning to

share this ministry with others; until the whole world is reached with such amazing Good

News of Christ (Isaiah 61:11); including restoration and deeper fellowship with God in

our past, present and into our future!
