Welcome to Back to the Garden  (BTTG) Ministries, Inc. with Hope D. Blackwell. We must go "back to the garden"; the place of intimacy, communion, and friendship with God. It is in the garden where the kingdom purposes and plans for all mankind were released. Even in that very place of purpose, we fell, losing our God given dominion and authority. Thanks be to God, we received the restoration of life, authority, and power through Jesus Christ, for the subduing of the earth and the advancement of the kingdom of God. Now God is calling us "back to the garden" to develop a passion for His presence, sensitivity to His voice, and submission to His purpose and His will for us as believers to exercise our influence and dominion in every arena of life, winning souls and advancing the Kingdom of God in the earth for the glorious return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

We are truly in the season of the harvest! There is a need for ministry to the whole man and as a result lives will be saved and transformed for the glory of God and the building of His kingdom. There is no more room for church "as usual". We must come out of the confines of the "church" and walk in our "garden" mandate to be fruitful, multiply, and replenish and subdue the earth. It is time to break racial, gender, social, political, and denominational barriers that have for too long hindered the move of God. 

Moreover, I believe the body of Christ is being processed and positioned to meet the many spiritual, social, and economical needs that the world is facing and that our country shall face in the days ahead. God is raising up an end time remnant who have purposed themselves to strategically crush the head (authority) of the enemy in this and future generations, those who will be His representatives, carrying out the great commission in the earth, with making disciples as their primary agenda. God is pressing on the hearts of His people who will pay the cost to reach and influence the lost and encourage, equip, and empower them to walk in their purpose and full potential in Him. Now we, the church of the God must develop a genuine passion for His presence, His heart, His leadership, and His people which will result in our precisely and accurately preaching the gospel of the kingdom, winning souls, and making disciples.

I sincerely thank you for taking the time to visit the site and hope to hear from you via e-mail. I pray that your passion for God will intensify and that by His grace you will walk in His image, likeness, and power. May the grace and mercy of God be with you and I pray that something on this site will encourage you to go "back to the garden" and discover the great work God desires to do in and through you in the earth for His glory!

God's Richest Blessings,
