Testimonies
"Pastor, you're an inspiration to us the way you relate and work with mama.
I wanted to know the secret, and now I know the marriage encounter lessons.
God bless you all."
Domnic and Muthoni
Before we attended the marriage teachings we could not sustain a dialogue in settling issues in our marriage.
Always it degenerated to quarrelling and shouting.
Today we can agree to disagree.
