Welcome to Father Speaks Ministries

Welcome to the Father Speaks Ministries web site. Although we have been in various leadership positions in the "Church" for over 30 years now, including 20 years as pastors, it has only been since 2006 that we formed this ministry in an effort to share the amazing truth of the Father’s love to the world.

The Bible says in Malachi 4:5-6, "See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse."

Our story is all too familiar in the "Church" today. We, like so many others, loved the Lord, served Him as best as we knew how, and still at the end of the day went home empty and feeling that we were not good enough.

Our Christian walk, we discovered, was fear based rather than affection based! We honestly felt that if we read enough chapters of the Bible, prayed long enough, served long enough and fasted enough, that we would feel the peace and contentment that we so desperately needed. Does this sound familiar? To our utter disappointment, nothing seemed to make us feel good enough.

As a result of our fear based relationship with the Lord we found ourselves always frustrated, discouraged, and, at least for me, always at the verge of giving up. This culminated for me to the point that even while teaching and preaching 4 or 5 times a week, I was depressed, suicidal, angry, and wanting to just run away!

Then in 1998 we began to hear the message of the Father’s love. We learned that the Father truly desired an intimate, experiential relationship with each of us. We learned that there were some things within us that hindered us from receiving this awesome relationship that the Father had always offered freely.

After a time of discovery and healing, we began to walk in a relationship that we did not know was available this side of eternity. No, we have not arrived, but we are far from where we were. You could be too!

My prayer for you is that the Father would warm you with His presence, encourage you with His love and fill you with His peace. You are loved and an important part of the family. Come into the presence of the One who has always loved you!

In His Love,
