Welcome to Our Site
Welcome to Touch Not Ministries, where testimony becomes transformation and covenant love becomes legacy.
​
Touch Not! authored by Recharlette “Recy” Hargraves, is more than a book. It is the foundation of a vision she shares with her husband, Alvin: a ministry born from survival, restored through faith, and anchored in Christ’s patient love. Recy’s story of brokenness finds its fulfillment in covenant love with Alvin, a living symbol of the way Christ loves us, faithfully and without end.
​
From this testimony flows a calling: to strengthen marriages, restore families, empower survivors, protect children, and bring hope to communities. What began as one woman’s journey now stands as a shared mission to remind every heart that scars are not shame, but proof of strength and God’s redemption.
​
Here, you’ll find encouragement, resources, and a growing ministry that equips warriors for healing and victory. This is only the beginning. As Touch Not Ministries continues to grow, we invite you to walk with us on the journey from survival to restoration, from testimony to triumph.

BOOK DESCRIPTION
​
Touch Not! Living Through the Fire: A Journey from Survival to Victory, is a raw, redemptive memoir of one woman’s passage through abuse, betrayal, and spiritual warfare and her triumphant emergence into healing, purpose, and peace. Recharlette, a devoted mother and ministry leader, invites readers into the heart of her story: a life once marked by fear and silence, now reclaimed through faith, courage, and divine restoration. From the quiet agony of a broken marriage to the bold decision to rise and rebuild, she chronicles the moments that tested her soul, and the grace that carried her through. With unflinching honesty and gentle wisdom, Touch Not! explores the sacred tension between pain and promise. It’s a testimony of boundaries drawn, prayers answered, and identity restored. Each chapter pulses with spiritual insight, emotional clarity, and the unwavering truth that God’s love does not abandon it rescues. For anyone walking through fire, this book is a lifeline. For those who’ve come out on the other side, it’s a celebration. And for every woman who’s ever asked, “Can I survive this?”—Recharlette’s story answers, “Yes. And you will thrive.”
