Thirty years ago found Clay and me deep in the heart of Texas in a tiny little town of 700 people. Our office was a small, old farmhouse, our home a haven in the middle of an isolated rural area. After living in large international cities (Vienna, Warsaw, Krakow, Los Angeles, Denver, Nashville), God put on our heart to start a publishing house and ministry. Our goal was to inspire, train parents to disciple their children in their home, pass on a lasting legacy of faith. We went without an income for 4 years, writing books, seeking to establish conferences, living with my mother-in-law on 200 acres in the middle of nowhere.
We could never have imagined then what God would do through our work and prayers. The privilege of speaking all over the world, writing 40 books together, hosting 20 years of women’s conferences for thousands of women, creating a blog, starting a podcast, was indeed a lot of hard work with long hours. Yet, we saw the hand of God working through all of these years to reach parents all over the world. What God has done is beyond what we could have imagined. We were untrained, low in finances, inexperienced, yet our hearts were led day after day to invest what we could to reach parents everywhere.
One of the legacies of our work is that kind, engaged, kindred friends, and generous people partnered with us every step. They volunteered at our conferences, taught our Bible studies, gave generously of their time, finances to help us to keep reaching out to those whose hearts were ready to respond. We could never have done what we did without the help of like minded people like you God brought our way.
As Clay and I enter what will be our last season of ministry, we are praying that God will give us energy, health, strength to continue to be light in this dark world. We hope to teach more profoundly about the love of God, His desire to work through families to shape a godly generation.
We would be so honored if you would consider joining us in this our last season of ministry adventure. If you have a heart to support our work, please consider sending your gift to Whole Hear by clicking here.
