At the age of 18, Chris heard the Gospel and received Christ as his savior at a local church.

After 4 years of relationship, Chris and Wendy got married in 2007. Since then, their service turned from young adults to counseling and teaching young couples. They discovered counseling as their calling.

They prepared couples on the main topics of the first years of marriage, the roles of each member in the family, serving the Lord together and the impact of a Christian family in the society. They also served as counselors for couples who were engaged and preparing to get married.
