About The Ministry
Back to the Garden or BTTG Ministries, Inc. was birthed by Hope D. Blackwell in 2003, many years following the call on her life to "build the old wastes, raise up the former desolations, and repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations". (Isaiah 61:4) The ministry impacts lives locally and across the world, as far as Africa & Asia. It is the product of intimacy with God, study of His Word, and transformation by the Holy Ghost. In the book of Genesis, (in the Garden of Eden), Hope received revelation and teaching that would thrust her into full deliverance, healing, and purpose. For several years she studied and yielded there as God revealed some of the essential truths found "in the Garden" needed for victorious and purposeful living. These "garden" teachings are filled with revelations of scripture that have ushered men, women, and couples, of all ages, status, and cultures into a more purposeful life.
It is in the beginning of creation, where we received the understanding of our divine design and purpose in God. It is there where the kingdom purposes and plans for all mankind were released. Even in that very place of purpose and power, we fell, losing our God given dominion. Thanks be to God, we were given restoration of life, authority, and power through Jesus Christ for the winning of souls and advancement of the kingdom of God. As we go "back to the garden"; the place of intimacy, communion, and fellowship with God, we will receive the impartation, revelation, and instructions needed for purposeful and victorious living; then being empowered to fulfill the mandate of the great commission.
Throughout scripture the garden is often the place of beauty, peace, fruitfulness, and communion with God. Although it is a place of abundance, it is also the place where the first struggles between the flesh and the spirit were aroused. This struggle existed then and will continue until the return of Christ, but through the blood of Jesus and power of the Holy Ghost we are victorious! As a ministry we teach and disciple others, helping them to discover and fulfill their purpose in the Kingdom of God, while accurately operating in the victory, authority, and power that we have in Him. BTTG Ministries, Inc. shares the gospel of the kingdom throughout the world through the teaching of God's Word, and acts of love service that equip, encourage, and empower others.
