I was sorry to hear that Rick passed. And, immediately thought of Enjoying Marriage, and wondered what the status was for it as a ministry. It appears that there is no website and that it is no longer functional. Please let me know what your plans are to continue or discontinue the ministry. Verna and I would like to see it continue, if you are not to move forward with it.

Pastor Rick impacted our marriage in several awesome ways. We attended the Enjoying Marriage conference & received marriage counseling from him. He helped us deal with a long standing issue & allowed us to forgive & renew our relationship. I actually wrote a book that was published partially based on his wise council. We feel blessed & honored to have known Rick & know we'll see him again.
