We have been serving the
Lord together for over thirty years. Devona was
born in Kansas and raised in Wyoming. Devona accepted
Jesus as her Lord and Savior at a young age and in an
effort to serve Christ received her master's in
Christian counseling. She moved to New Hampshire
with the desire to start a couseling practice. Due
to health problems this never came to fruition, but she
did meet me her future husband Wayne. We meet
in the late spring of 1989 at a Bible
study. We did not date at first, in fact
didn't really get to know each other until September
when Devona hosted a singles Bible study. I, Wayne, was
the only one to show up. We were married three
months later in December of 1989.
I, Wayne, came to know Jesus as
Lord and Savior later in life. I had been raised
in the church but did not really believe what was
said. It was after a divorce from my first wife
that I came to the Lord, and a lot of this was due to my
daughter Marie. My ex-wife and I sent her to a
Christian pre-school as it was inexpensive compared to
others. We sent her to a Christian kindergarden as our
town did not have kindergarten. Marie use to say
to me, quite frequently, that Jesus loved me.
