We've have been married for 13 years and in all that time, one thing has remained consistent...we've put love first in our relationship with each other and have endeavored to do so in our relationships with others.  While we are called to the ministry, we are more interested in getting to know people and build a family that supports and encourages each other.

We often say, we don't need to be in the ministry but we so enjoy inspiring people that we've just decided to make that our ministry.  It's true, we could stop tomorrow and be just as fulfilled in our lives with our children and friends.  But we have a burning passion to see people become whole and the love of God is the only power that can accomplish that.

While we see amazing miracles through Forward, the greatest joy is watching someone discover the unconditional love our Heavenly Father has for them.  Once someone becomes convinced and confident of God's love toward them, they're on their path to being a powerful and effective disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ.  While we love to teach and help others discover the divine gifts within them, we just like people.  It just so happens that we get to inspire others to let God love them and then take that same ministry of reconciliation into a hurting world.
