Stories from people we have had the honor to walk alongside.
"It's been my great pleasure to know Marty and Ruthann 'up close' for 39 years. We served in ministry together for a season and have been close friends for a lifetime. One quality stands out above all others; they have a remarkable commitment to 'standing in the gap' with people. They know how to come alongside and help make hard lives easier. I can't conceive of a couple better equipped and or more capable of assisting folks to their next great season in life."
Ben Baier, M.Div.
"We've known Marty and Ruthann for about 15 years and have been so grateful for the connection! During an especially challenging time in our lives, Marty and Ruthann met with us and helped us carry the burden of a deeply painful time. We appreciate their love for the LORD, their insights and wisdom. Since that time, we have been back on track with God and ministering in our own sphere of influence."
