The Ministries of TeamMates

Throughout the past three and a half decades we've seen God graciously answer our wedding day prayer:

"I pray that the God of all steadfastness and grace will grant you to live in such harmony with one another that together, with one voice, you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."
(Romans 15:5-6)

Many have said, "You make a great team!" Our prayer now is that, Lord willing, our remaining years will be our most fruitful years in making other teams great, ministering together to the glory of God.

Teamed to satisfy, edify, clarify, unify, and beautify,
that we may magnify and glorify the Lord together.

Teamed to SATISFY ...

... we're a welcoming, first class HOSPITALITY team ... making our home available for a refreshing break, perhaps an overnight, weekend, or week-long getaway in our peaceful garden setting. A spacious, inviting, private suite awaits, with a well-stocked kitchen, a cozy fireplace, and a view that is a visual feast. Perfect for rekindling the romance, for restoring the soul, for reading or writing a great book. Additional rooms are available in the event that ministry teams desire to get away together. We are situated in the Rivermist neighborhood, about a stone's throw from scenic Stone Mountain Park in Georgia. May it be true of us as was said of Philemon: "... the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you." There's room at the Inn for you! [Click HERE to see the Inn at Rivermist!]

Teamed to EDIFY ...

... we're a "come-alongside" COUNSELING team ... each offering a listening ear, an edifying word, a bended knee, or a helping hand to individuals and couples, especially to fellow servants in the Lord's work. In the midst of all the stresses and pressures of ministry, those who care for others need to be cared for too. Having served as chaplain to the Campus Crusade Headquarters Staff, and then as an associate pastor in California for nine years, and a senior pastor in Georgia for 20 years, David, along with Peggy, has become increasingly sensitized to the hearts, hurts, and hopes of the sheep and the shepherds.

Teamed to CLARIFY ...

... we're a "Back to the Basics" TEACHING team ... communicating together and individually in church, classroom, retreat, conference, and home settings, on the themes God has especially put on our hearts:

	Basics for Christian Living
	FamilyLife Marriage and Parenting Conferences
	Homebuilders
	Basics for Christian Counseling
	The Purpose-Driven Life
	Engaged Couples classes
	My Home, Christ's Heart (a practical series Peggy teaches on decorating and using each room of the home for God's glory)

Having been a teaching pastor for nearly 30 years, David has a gift of communicating the simply profound in profoundly simple ways. To date, we have had the incredible privilege of speaking to groups, large and small, in 35 states and 14 countries.

Teamed to UNIFY ...

... we're a "Beautiful Beginnings" WEDDING team ... united to see couples united in marriage in a Christ-honoring way. Not a wedding business, but a marriage ministry. Peggy has coordinated and decorated for scores of weddings and teamed with David in many pre-marital counseling sessions and classes. Every time David officiates at a wedding, he aims to make it personalized, memorable, and Christ-centered. Beginning with the end in mind, we pray that the coming generation of couples will have fantastic finishes.

Teamed to BEAUTIFY ...

... we're a "Timeless Interiors" DESIGN team. Peggy's God-given passion and profession of decorating has been used time and again to beautify homes, offices, churches, and even a totally renovated Bed & Breakfast. From clients with unlimited budgets in Atlanta's upscale Buckhead neighborhoods, to missionaries on the field without a buck to spare, the list is long of folks who have seen their place transformed. Peggy provides all the creative designer genes; Dave loves holding the ladder or sweeping up the mess while others "ooh" and "aah." Most gratifying and thrilling is to see people's increased enjoyment and employment of their homes for ministry and hospitality when they feel better about their surroundings.
