Paul and Marilyn were married on July 15, 1972 and have six children and seven grandchildren. Paul grew up in Southern California where he and his family attended Arrow Highway Wesleyan Church. Paul and Marilyn met at Azusa Pacific University. Following graduation, Paul served as youth pastor at his home church for two years. Since 1976 Paul has served at Central Wesleyan Church in Holland, Michigan. In the 30 plus years since he has been there the church has grown from an average attendance of 380 to approximately 3,000 people. The church sits on a campus of 113 acres and is actively engaged in ministries both locally and globally. Marilyn has been featured on “Focus on the Family” and speaks at various retreats, conferences, and workshops. She has also written adult Sunday School curriculum and several daily devotional guides for her denomination and a devotional for Moody Publishers. She has written two books, Listening for God, and Shame Lifter. Both books published by Tyndale House Publishers. Marilyn loves being a grandmother of seven and enjoys reading, doing crafts and working in their garden with her husband. She also finds it exhilarating when she finds a long lost sock and realizes she still has its mate! Some of her favorite words begin with “P” – Paul, prizes, puppies, pizza and prayer.
