“Gayle and I met Andrew and Jamie in 1981 while attending a church in Greely, Colorado. We instantly fell in love with their ministry. As with so many others, it was the first time we had ever heard the true Gospel. In 1985, I was transferred to Colorado Springs to serve as Assistant Store Manager for Sears, and Gayle and I, along with our two sons, would travel forty-five miles to attend Andrew’s Sunday school class. It was life changing for us, and the rest is history! We have never been the same. Gayle and I are extremely blessed to serve this ministry and the great people associated with it! In all my years of management, I have never served with a team as dedicated as this group of individuals. God is blessing us and continues to bless us with this opportunity.”
