Norm Boshoff, M.Div., Th.M.
Addiction destroys. Norm Boshoff knows. Alcohol cost him all
he loved and had achieved. Born in South Africa, he excelled
in education (quickly acquiring two Bachelor degrees, with
honors, and two Masters Degrees in communication and
theology). Norm was quickly propelled into his first ministry
where he served as senior pastor of a “mega-church”.
As his leadership as pastor of a burgeoning church, popular
television minister and effective fundraiser drew wide
recognition, his interior personal life slowly grew dark, sick
and non-functional. He was imploding under the weight of
a spiritual, emotional and a biological sickness. Thinking God
had withheld healing, he had no place to turn. His environment
offered shame where Grace, support and ultimately, quality
treatment were needed to restore his life.
He has now personally worked a proven spiritual program of
lasting sobriety for over 15 years, providing a daily reprieve
from the chronic, progressive disease of alcoholism. Grateful,
he has embraced a deeper ministry – offering his experience,
strength and hope to the many soul-sick alcoholics and addicts
he encounters daily.
Norm’s experience has shown that for lasting, quality
recovery, the entire family must commit to a treatment
process. Norm Boshoff is the president of Restoration
Interventions, a national intervention company. A popular
speaker and seminar leader, Norm has embraced the practice of
intervention as his calling, and the “giving away” of his
life, his passion.
