When Phil and I married we each had our own agenda. I had just recently
escaped with my children from an abusive ex-husband. Out of desperation I
asked Jesus into my heart. However, I hadn't made Him Lord of my life yet,
when I met Phil. I thought Phil was a gift from God and could solve all my
problems. Phil, who was a Buddhist and battered from the war married me
because he needed someone to rescue and our family certainly looked like
something he could rescue.
Almost immediately after we married we both realized that Phil not only
couldn't take care of our family, but he couldn't take care of himself. Phil
went into a pit of despair and became a hopeless drunk. I became angry and
bitter.
Finally after years of living in our hopeless situation I turned back to the
God I had turned my back on and made Him Lord of my life. Jesus welcomed me
back with open arms. After much repentance and healing of my own past God
used me to do spiritual warfare and prayer to bring Phil out of the bondage
satan had him in. He finally surrendered to the Lord Jesus Christ and has
worked for Lord ever since.
We have worked with Point Man for over ten year's reaching out to veterans and
their families who have also suffered from the effects of war. Our personal
project with Open Hands & Hearts Missions to Vietnam began after we visited
Vietnam in 1992. Since then we have taken several teams of veterans and their
loved ones on tactical teams to bring the Gospel of love and forgiveness to a
one time enemy. To read more about what these tactical teams are doing please
