Pastor Jaime Santiago, executive director and founder of Restart Training Center Ministry (RTCM), believes that Steve and Annie Chapman are the perfect guest speakers and singers for the organization’s fourth annual Valentine’s banquet. “The Chapmans were chosen because they have ministered to people in marriages for 40 years,” said Santiago. “Our desire is to encourage people in marriages, and (the Chapmans) have years of experience in their own marriage as well as encouraging others.” Santiago added that the banquet should offer an enriching experience for engaged couples as well. RTCM will hold the 2019 Valentine’s banquet at Yoder’s Restaurant Banquet Facility, 14 S. Tower Road, New See Valentine’s Banquet pg 11
