About Us
Pastor Warren and Jan Kooi
Meet the Founders
Pastor Warren and Jan Kooi
We have been married since 1998. After experiencing loss in our previous marriages, Jan’s through death and Warren’s through a divorce, our Father has blessed us with this second chance. We love doing life together as best friends and ministry partners. When not serving as Restoring The Foundations coordinators in our local church, we lead an active lifestyle that includes tennis, kayaking, biking, hiking, and skiing. We also love quiet walks on the beautiful beaches of Southwest Florida. One of our favorite activities is traveling to visit our four daughters and families, especially our six grandchildren. We live our entire lives as a JWJ (Jesus, Warren & Jan) adventure.
Our Connection to Restoring The Foundations
We have ministered freedom to God’s children for over 25 years, having been trained in several models of soul and spirit healing. After “retiring” to Florida, we went back to school to earn ministry degrees, and then began freedom ministry at our local church. We first heard about RTF on the tennis court while playing with church friends from Texas, and after seeing the fruits of this ministry in the lives of others, we recognized RTF brought a level of freedom and healing beyond anything we had seen. We knew then that our next steps were to receive ministry ourselves and be trained to minister to others. The ministry we received strengthened an already great marriage, and our training has enabled us to minister that same restoration to others in many walks of life.
Ministry Distinctives
Having served as lead pastors ourselves, we can empathize with the hurts suffered by other pastors and leaders in their service to His Church. We find great fulfillment in seeing the Holy Spirit gently heal those hurts and restore the joy of ministry in those we lead through RTF. We are also especially passionate about seeing marriages restored as couples experience the healing and freedom brought into their lives and marriages through RTF. We recently acquired our “Jesus home” for the expressed purpose of providing a safe, welcoming environment for ministry, but we also love to travel and welcome the opportunity to minister anywhere in the world.
Ask yourself this question, “Am I living fully in the fruits of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control) every day of my life?” If your answer is not a confident “Yes!”, then we would love to have you connect with us and begin this journey toward a fruitful life of freedom through receiving RTF ministry. We would be honored to have a front-row seat as the Father reveals His truth and pours out His love into your life as you experience Restoring The Foundations ministry with us.

Freedom Found
We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to go through RTF with Warren & Jan. We especially appreciated how nothing seemed to surprise them. They are so kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and encouraging. Through RTF we were able to break off generational curses as well as go through our pasts to expose things and bring them to the surface so they could not hinder our future. We were able to really break free from stumbling blocks and hinderances. As a married couple we truly enjoyed getting to know one another on a deeper level. This is such a valuable program; we would highly recommend it to any individual or married couple.
The Daltons
I cannot speak highly enough about the Restoring the Foundations ministry, or the ministers, Warren and Jan Kooi that conducted my sessions. I went into it with an open mind and heart, not realizing how downtrodden I was by life’s burdens. It was an emotionally intense, and spiritually freeing week of reaching deep down and taking a hard look into myself, literally looking at the “foundation” and beginning to repair it. Warren and Jan were amazing facilitators that made it very easy to open up and confront my inner self. They and the ministry give you the tools and support to not only start your journey but to continue it as well. I never once have looked back with any regret or thought of how much time or money I spent with Restoring the Foundations ministry, I still carry with me today what I took away from my sessions. The investment in myself was an easy one and the return was more than I could’ve imagined. I restored my foundations and returned to freedom in my life.

"Before RTF I had severe health challenges including Lyme's disease and thought I could actually die at a young age. I also had a lot of near-death experiences and had gone through a lot of childhood trauma that I stuffed down and never dealt with until I went through the ministry. A little over a month after I had gone through RTF, my test results showed that I was completely healed! Also, my husband and I went through a really rough time in our marriage and have received major healing due to RTF. We are thriving more now than we ever have in our entire relationship and we start each day with the tools we learned through the ministry. RTF has completely changed my life, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically and I may not be here today without it. I am eternally grateful for this ministry."
