Clarke & Lucille Magruder

Inner Healing

Lucille and Clarke met the Lord as young adults in the 1970s during the Charismatic renewal. They have encountered many different types of Christian ministry. Over the years, however, they met Christians who were challenged by issues that did not get resolved through the resources available to them. Restoration Christian Ministry (RCM) grew out of a desire to address the needs of these people.

Through RCM, Clarke and Lucille offer a comfortable, non-judgmental environment where individuals can freely talk about the things that concern them and have someone listen carefully to what they are saying. RCM provides a structured, comprehensive approach to dealing with multi-faceted issues that individuals have experienced, often over a period of many years. Lucille and Clarke have ministered to individuals who have experienced guilt, rejection, abuse and many kinds of trauma. They have frequently seen people uplifted, encouraged and on the way to discovering God's best for their lives after receiving prayer ministry.

Lucille and Clarke are retired. Clarke taught several different elementary grade levels before becoming an elementary school principal for 30 years. Lucille is a registered nurse who worked as a nursing case manager. They have been married for 41 years and have two adult children and two grandchildren. Both have received training in various prayer ministry models.
