Schizophrenia and mental illness in general have been the main obstacles in their fourteen-year partnership. Their marriage has been transformed by the healing power of Christ. They live and work in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, and have two wonderful children, Ella and James. Glorifying Christ in all they do is their goal. They strive to make Him the center of their personal lives, marriage, and family.
