Richard and Mary have been married since September 2003. They have 3 grown children, 2 bonus kids (aka in-laws) and 3 grandsons.
The Greek definition for the word "Helps" used in 1 Corinthians 12:28 is"antilepsis", and means "rendering practical aid and support." In a nutshell, that is the Helps Ministry, to be a "practical aid and support" to pastors in support of their vision in the local church setting!
As directors of Rhema Valley's Ministry of Helps, they make sure the building and grounds are always ministry ready for every occasion. They coordinate and train volunteers to help in this vital ministry and assist the Pastor in anyway needed.
Our nursery volunteers led by Mary Kellams are carefully chosen to minister to the needs of newborns through 4 years old. They do not see this as a babysitting time, but a time to teach and plant God's Word in these tender hearts.
