Paul - "Over the past eight years the Lord has allowed us to serve on the team at Parris Island, SC. From the beginning, we felt the Lord may be calling us to this ministry. However, it appeared that the need was met by staff already in place and a team that was raising support. During those first two years, the Lord had been working in our lives to prepare us for this ministry. The Lord then solidified His call on our lives to full time ministry. We believe, though we are open to wherever the Lord would send us, that He has called us to serve at Parris Island for as long as He wills. I was an Active Duty Marine for eight years and Drill Instructor for two years. My wife and I were married during my tour as a Drill Instructor and have always had the desire to share God’s love with Recruits, Drill Instructor's, and the entire Military community. The Lord has been so kind as He now allows us to serve as the Local Directors here at Parris Island. We are honored to watch Him work in the lives of new Marines, Drill Instructors, and Command Staff. We pray that you will see the same thing as you support this ministry"
Kathy - "In October 2013, we were attending our Marriage Counselor's retirement party in Beaufort SC. This is where we were first introduced to CRU Military ministry by a pastor who was also attending the party. At first, I thought this was not for me but was for Paul. I thought I would go and serve at a local church while he went and served at Parris Island. However, I did agree to go see the ministry in January of 2014. On the first Sunday we visited the ministry, I saw two new female recruits crying as they were going to the restroom. The Lord used this to place a desire in my heart to love, encourage, pray for, and share God's love with the female recruits. Paul and I were married when he was a Drill Instructor, so I know how hard Boot Camp is on the DI's, their families, and the recruits. The Lord has allowed me to continue to minister to many recruits over the last six years. I believe He used that time to prepare me for full time service to Him at Parris Island. I also believe that the Lord has used the counseling we received early in our marriage and our life together in the Marine Corps to prepare me to minister to young married Marine Corps families in Beaufort SC as well."
