Transforming Marriages: Insights from D&D Ministry

This week finds us on the road again, ministering with D&D Ministry. I guess it’s no surprise that the conferences in February are marriage and family related – subject matters that our hearts/ministry are passionate about. We’re all aware that the family is under great attack. More than ever, we need the truth of God’s Word to instruct, guide, comfort and yes, even convict us so that we will follow God’s mandate for marriage and the home.

Summer Ministry at The Wilds, Week 1

As we opened our hands and asked the Lord to use us to encourage pastors, we watched God bring to us the opportunity to serve at The Wilds this summer. I thought I might answer some questions you might have about our ministry there.

What are you doing at The Wilds? We get to come alongside the sponsors who bring campers to the camp each week and encourage, listen, pray and befriend them. We are following their schedule and attending the services they attend, eating meals with them, and also enjoying some special times set aside just for them.

Where in the World? New York!

Last night our small group met in our home to study Luke 5. Levi, the tax collector encountered Jesus and is called to follow Christ. He immediately left everything – EVERYTHING and followed Him.

Our past ministries have been “home” to us, but for right now, the Lord’s directive has been “go.” On Monday evening we pulled into our driveway after traveling 2,063 miles.

Where in the World? North Carolina & Georgia!

My husband used to say that his family moved so much that every time a U-Haul truck passed by, their furniture rattled! Well, we’re not moving, but recently we have traveled so much that I believe I could say

When the garage door opens, our suitcases rattle!

A Retreat with an Interesting Turn of Events

Another D&D Ministry ministry opportunity was given to us and was such a blessing this past weekend. This had been planned many months ago, to a place I had never been – Amazing Grace Baptist Camp in Ottawa, Kansas. One of the staff wives, Elizabeth has been reading my blog for many years, but we had never met! She reached out to me and asked if I could come and speak at their Ladies’ Retreat. The Lord gave clearance to do so, and I was so excited about seeing another camp ministry reaching people of all ages with their unique setting!
