Our Vision at Wind and Wave Ministries
For us, the name Wind And Wave represents the Holy Spirit and His power in our lives. Waves have incredible power. Winds are powerful too. You can not see the winds but you can sure feel their effects. That is what the Holy Spirit is like. Powerful and effective. We are on a journey of learning to recognize and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, whose presence gives us strength, courage, wisdom, peace and power.
Our desire is to encourage others to live lives empowered by the Holy Spirit: to discover the power and presence of the Holy Spirit, to hear God's voice more clearly, and to learn how to navigate life with Jesus at the center.
We have launched out together in this faith journey, trusting God to use our life experiences to speak hope into lives.
Wind & Wave is about the journey—and the power of God's Spirit within us as we journey through it.
The ministry includes four parts:
1. Itinerant Speaking Ministries – This is a travelling ministry, somewhat like an evangelist, that takes us to every part of the country and beyond. This serves as an encouragement to the local church and its pastoral leadership. Judy and I are available to speak at Sunday services, retreats or conferences. Contact us at rick@windandwave.org to book a date.
2. Humanitarian Ministries -There are tremendous needs in our communities and around the world, and many incredible ministries are providing effective and compassionate help. We partner with these organizations by providing financial support, enabling them to meet practical needs and make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
3. Leadership Development – My experiences as a pastor, Church Ministries Director and eventualy as a District Superintendent has prepared me to help support and advise leaders. It is a special joy to pour back into younger (and the not so young) leaders as they navigate the complexities of ministry life and leadership. I'm available for in person meetings, phone call consulations and to speak to your leadership team.
4. Family Ministries - Families face many challenges today. We provide practical resources to help families navigate these challenges, strengthen relationships, steward finances wisely, and grow in parenting. Coming soon: Links to trusted and helpful resources.
