Our Vision at Wind and Wave Ministries
Let me give you a little background in the name. You see the disciples faced a dilemma. Suddenly a storm rose up and had just rocked their boat because of the rough waters. Jesus, who was in the stern of the small ship, rose from sleep (totally unaffected by the storm around Him) and simply commanded the waves to settle down. And sure enough, they were still. So the men asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!” (Matthew 8:27)
Judy and I have launched out in a faith journey that will speak to the storms of life. The ministry includes 4 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 – We are aware of the fact that the widows, orphans and poor among us need our help. And a portion of the ministry goes to these vulnerable people, who are greatest in need.
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 are struggling like never before. We provide resources such as podcasts that will help support families. Resources providing info regarding stewarding finances, relationship info and parenting advice. Coming soon - links to helpful info
