Stories from people we have had the honor to walk alongside.

"We have known Marty and Ruthann for many years and through many stages of life. From serving in youth ministry, to church leadership and missions, they have always been clear eyed on their purpose: to serve God and love people! Marty and Ruthann are lifelong learners and have always embraced change; even when it was hard. They have ministered to our family through some very hard seasons, supporting us both practically and prayerfully, with wisdom and humor!"
