About

Meet Jon and Jude

In late 2016, we left our careers to seek the Lord's guidance for the next step. Through Isaiah 61:1–4, he gave us a vision to minister to and encourage others.

Our vision

Encouragement, connection and room to grow

Taking a step of faith, we began working towards that vision. Our ministry has grown to include marriage enrichment, preparation for marriage, mentoring and retreats for married couples, individuals and groups.

Our hearts are for couples who want to make a good marriage even better, those working through difficulties, and those preparing for married life. We also welcome individuals seeking encouragement, refreshment or a deeper relationship with God — whether life feels settled or uncertain. For those feeling tired, lonely or hurting, facing life-changing decisions or seeking new direction, we offer space to pause, sit at Jesus' feet and receive his care.

Our approach

Peaceful places, Spirit-led ministry

When invited, we bring the love of Jesus and the ministry of the Holy Spirit into a peaceful environment that makes room for healing and refreshing in God's presence (Acts 3:19).

In a busy world we either travel to those in need or invite people to come to where we are. We offer and pray for peace, restoration, healing and renewal — through marriage enrichment or times of restoration for individuals and couples alike.

Our story

Married in 1980, six children

We are blessed with a son and five daughters, including our youngest daughter, whom we adopted while serving as missionaries in Eswatini.

Jon's background is in education, including five years establishing and running a school for orphaned children in Eswatini. Jude's is in nursing, working in healthcare in the UK before serving at a local clinic in Eswatini.

Together we have pastored churches in the UK, Canada, the USA and Eswatini, bringing many years of experience in mentoring, inner healing and deliverance ministry. We continue to spend time in these countries and travel as the Lord leads.
