About Restoring Souls
Educate. Equip.Empower.
Our purpose is to educate, equip, empower, encourage, instill, inspire and influence the masses toward the LOVE of Christ and His will for their lives.
The Founder
Dr. Rhonda Sneed
Pastor, author, and spiritual counselor, Dr. Sneed founded Restoring Souls with a single conviction: that no one is too far gone for God to make over. That conviction became a church, a counseling practice, and a shelf of books.
Today she leads Kingdom Celebration Center Houston, counsels one-on-one through Restoring Souls, and writes — including work alongside Percy “Master P” Miller on faith and mental health.

Gloria McGowen serves as the Director of Counseling and Consulting for Restoring Souls Outreach Center and has dedicated her career to serving the community. Gloria graduated from Sam Houston University with a degree in Psychology, and her professional career has been inundated with service — including, but not limited to, working with populations such as high-risk youth, the mentally ill, probationers, and the elderly.
The turning point in Gloria's career was the result of the devastation left by Hurricane Katrina. Gloria continued her work with the Katrina survivors, adopting the motto: “I do not see my work as the answer to my prayers, but my work is the answer to their prayers.”
Gloria was recognized as a business leader known for providing stellar social services and operational insight as co-owner of GMC Consultants, LLC. But her greatest accomplishments have been in her callings as Ordained Minister, Pastor, and Christian Counselor. She walks in an assignment to help others while they are in their Gethsemane — a place of mental and spiritual suffering.
