Pastor Ted Bichsel writes, “God called our church years ago to be a resource to churches, pastors and missionaries. The NAME Center has allowed us to help in unprecedented ways of touching the marriages in their churches. Through the NAME ministry we have been able to strengthen and empower couples in our church, in other churches and in the market place. Through NAME we now have 20 plus couples speaking life into many marriages. God has built bridges to other churches and their pastors as we have sent healed, equipped families back to them. Just recently we were contacted by a senior pastor asking us to counsel one of his staff… what an honor! It is no surprise that the design of our new addition will include the new NAME Center. It has been my joy to encourage other pastors about establishing a NAME Center in their church as well. Who knows what God has for Long Island!”

Al and Judy have trained 24 couples since the opening of the center in September of 2003. Multiple couples are counseled weekly with a large percentage of couples coming from within the community. Al and Judy have recorded numerous salvations, a number of reconciliations and many families back together walking out their destiny.

Al and Judy believe as they pour into the lives of their Certified Marriage Specialist couples those CMS couples will be better equipped to minister to hurting couples that need a miracle.
