Sustaining Word Ministries founded by Dr. Phillip Richter in 1999, is a non-denominational church, filled with and led by the Holy Spirit. The Ministry begun with bi-weekly prayer meetings of approximately 15 people, and as it became more established overtime, God performed miracles. Under the leadership of Dr. Richter, single parents, couples in marital crisis, homeless individuals and families, young adults battling drug and alcohol addiction, men and women suffering from depression and disappointment, confessed their sins and turned over their lives to Christ, who to this day, is working fervently on their behalves, making them out to be the anointed people God ordained them to be.
