Thinking of others before themselves, Mantecans Jack and Sharolyn Coldren have created a way to fund their Hope for Life Foundation Ministries to underwrite their established counseling effort out of their home with “Jack’s Famous Salsa” being offered to the public for the first time just before the holidays.
Coldren said he had been urged to put his salsa on the market by their friends and family members for years – finally taking steps to make it happen.  A former member of the Doctors Hospital Board of Directors, Coldren explained that “Restoring the Foundations” (RTF) is a Christian prophetic prayer ministry that uses an integrated approach which includes four major problem areas in a person’s life.
Pallets of the salsa have already been delivered and are ready for sale with more expected to be delivered in the near future.
The bottled salsa can be purchased directly from the Coldrens for $4.95 a jar by calling 209.985.3080, or by visiting www.rtfhopeforlifeministries.com. Coldren added a prophecy: “It is said that a person can live 40 days without water, four minutes without air, but only four seconds without HOPE.  Restoring the Foundations (RTF) provides HOPE for healing, freedom from life’s deepest struggles and renewed purpose for living through a personal experience with God’s transforming, empowering love,” he said in his reference.
Jack and Sharolyn were married in 1971 and have three adult children and what they describe as two incredible sons-in-law along with three grandchildren. “We are full-time Restoring the Foundations ministers,” they chimed.
They feel they can give 49 percent of their salsa gratis to those in need as long as they sell 51 percent on the current market – enough to show a profit. 
From a series of testimonials that support their counseling efforts, a man named Roberto wrote, “I have attended many Christian types of healing sessions and the time I was able to spend with Sharolyn and Jack was life changing for me.  I was surprised and touched by the level of deepness we were able to go with my wife helping me heal many wounds that I didn’t know I had.  I would fully recommend this course to anyone and I do believe that everyone needs to face and to heal to deal with their issues to have the closeness and receive all the blessings God has to offer.”
