HOWARD:
After years of couseling people in destructive cults/occults, gangs, and substance abuse, he didn't believe that anything more challenging could happen. He wanted a Godly woman in his life, since only such a person could understand and support this ministry God had given him.

LORI:
After holding things together for five and a half years as a single mom with 3 children, her prayer was "Lord, I don't want to spend the rest of my life alone and I need help. Not any help, but help from a sold-out Christian man, who would love my children." Only God could find such a man.

TOGETHER:
After over 3 years of wanting to ask Lori out, but being afraid of what might develop (she had 3 kids!)...God moved on Howard's heart; they went out and fell in love. Oh, so happy they were, praising and thanking God for this new and wonderful gift. They were like two young puppies in love! Everybody and everything was great! Now they would become one big, happy family: Lori, 3 kids, Howard, his ministry...life would never be better!

THEN REALITY HIT!
Hey God...WHAT HAPPENED?!?!
BLENDED doesn't have to mean ENDED families. Attend the next seminar and allow Howard & Lori to share about their journey, not their completion...for God created us to have JOY in the journey, not just the destination.
