About Rick and Beth

Rick and Beth genuinely believe what the Bible says in Philippians 1:12, that the things that happen in life can turn out for the furtherance of the gospel.  Their imperfect lives and stories serve as catalysts of hope for the current generation and generations to come.   

Rick and Beth have a beautifully blended family, with six children between them.  They are committed to the unique call of God on their lives to help hurting people in their own backyard and around the world.
