Ed and Gayle have served in pastoral ministry for most of their 50 plus years of marriage. This gives them a unique ability to connect with other pastors and their wives at The Lodge where they facilitate Retreats. Their prayer is that each couple who attends leaves refreshed, refocused, and renewed to finish well the ministry to which they were called. Ed and Gayle moved to this area 40 years ago to serve with Life Action. When they are not serving at The Lodge, Ed does counseling and Gayle serves with Revive Our Hearts. Their life verse is Isaiah 26:3 “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee, because he trusteth in Thee.” Ed and Gayle have two grown children and four wonderful grandchildren.
