Several years ago, Bob and Kathy were asked by friends if they would fill in on a "last minute basis" for a speaker who had gotten ill just before giving the main address at a dinner honoring married couples.They agreed, and chose to speak about something that they had entered into, wrestled with, went through highs and lows with, and been enormously blessed by in their then thirty-four years of marriage.Their subject: "The Blessings of Couple Prayer."
The response to that presentation was so positive that Bob and Kathy met in a series of meetings at their home church with some fifty interested couples over the next four months.
