Share our Dream
This is a website we have created so you can share in our journey as Mountain Haven Marriage and Family Reconciliation Ministry humbly begins its first year as a non-profit ministry. Please use this blog page to learn more about who we are, what we offer for marriage services, and to keep us in mind as a marriage resource. Time is passing quickly and the ministry center will be started in April 2008 in Colorado.
The journey started in 2002 with our vision to leave a legacy for our children and others about the hope of reconciliation because of our miraculous remarriage in 1999 after a year of divorce. Since that time, so many miracles have happened to confirm for us that this vision is truly something that the Lord will use for His glory. It is because of His grace that we can move into the next year knowing that we want to make a difference for other couples that have experienced the devastation of a hurting or broken marriage, or just share hope for those that are stuck in patterns and beliefs about marriage that are stopping them from becoming the man or woman that God intended them to be.
We are a work in progress and this year brings with it many monumental changes for us. We are excited to share the journey and the miracles with you. Your prayers, support, and friendship through the years have sustained us and compelled us to become all we can be as a family and now as a full fledged non-profit ministry. We hope your hearts will be ignited to continue to support us in prayer, encouragement or financially throughout the years as we move forward with this awesome dream and bring it into reality.
