Parrish and Leona Martin
Our love began in in the early 80’s, we were married in 1989. We struggled many years with alcohol and drug abuse, and found comfort in many different ministries and were long time members of the River of Life Christian Church and in 2011 God had another plan. We began going to the WOLOM with residue and pain from our past and our marriage on the rocks. We began to commit to God and our ministry, and Counseling from our Bishop and Pastor. As we look back we thank and Praise God for giving us Pastors after his own heart, because failing was not an option. We are winners and overcomers. We have a strong marriage and we couldn’t have done it without God, our Pastors and our wonderful WOLOM family.
Parrish:
Since I have been a member at the WOLOM I have grown to become a true Man of God. This ministry has benefited my life in so many ways. I am a better husband, father and friend. I attend 12 Step Free Indeed, Marriage Ministry and Leadership. I was ordained a Deacon in 2013. God has truly used my Bishop and Pastor to mentor me in my walk with God.
Leona Martin:
I have attended The Waters of Life Outreach Ministry since 2011. I am currently serving as a Deaconess and active in the Nursery and Youth Ministry also, co-facilitate 12 Step Free Indeed. Since becoming a member and being active in this Ministry my marriage is stronger, family relationships have been healed and I have grown spiritually in so many ways. I have found purpose and a drive for life that only God could have ordained. I have been delivered out of a 20 year drug and alcohol addiction and lifestyle of chaos.
