Support Couple
Looking for a ministry you can do together as husband and wife?
Become one of our support couples! You can help struggling couples find hope, help and healing… while strengthening your marriage in the process. You don’t have to lead or teach anything. You don’t have to have a perfect marriage. You simply need to be able to love on and serve people.

We take care of your meals and expenses.
- Expectations after the Intensive:~ The week after the intensive is over – we encourage that you touch base with each couple to find out how they are doing transitioning back to “normal” life … and if they have been able to start their first “Heavy Lifting” assignment.~ For the next three months – we encourage that you touch base with each couple to encourage them in their “Heavy Lifting” assignments and to see how they are doing.~ If you hear from the couples we ask that you send us an update on how they are doing … so we can track their progress and step in to further help them if needed.
