Communicating God's Way Program

KADV brings this local program to our audience to provide tips and tools for tuning a good marriage healing a broken one.  There are 5 couples that bring to the program the way that God has brought them through the experience of God's healing for their specific marriage situation.

Week 1: Mark and Debbie Johnson teach the Marriage 911 class from the International Center for Reconciling God's Way materials at New Live Center in Turlock.

Week 2: Joe and Michelle Williams are the founders and directors of the International Center for Reconciling God's Way--a faith-based, non-profit organization providing help and hope for marriages in crisis. With divorce in their backgrounds prior to becoming Christians, they can relate to most couples whose marriages are in crisis. They have served in ministry since 1990 and in 1997 they coauthored the Reconciling God's Way workbook and support partner handbook.

Week 3: Gary and Mona Shriver of Hope & Healing, which was begun in 1998 by 2 couples brought together through their mutual counselor to support one another in their adultery recovery. Gary & Mona Shriver are one of those couples.  Facilitators are peers, ordinary people who have survived the bitterest of betrayals, done the work of adultery recovery, and are willing to share what they have learned to walk alongside others on the road to recovery. They are not, nor do they claim to be, experts or counselors.

Week 4: Don and Kathy Coryell have experienced the pain, disappointment and loss of divorce from previous marriages. They became a “creative connection” in 1999, Don with three children, Kathy with four. Though they both attended various relationship classes at church, including a premarital class, they found nothing adequately prepared them for the realities of living in a stepfamily.   Their experience has given them a desire to help others facing stepfamily issues, whether single, engaged or married, thus the birth of Creative Connections Ministry.

Week 5 (once a month): Jim Stewart Executive Director of Stanislaus County Healthy Marriage Coalition.  The StanCo Healthy Marriage Coalition exists to help couples prepare for marriage and establish habits and skills that will allow them to maintain healthy, satisfying, vibrant, successful, thriving life-long marriages and strong families. Strong families contribute positively to a strong community and help to make the Central Valley a great place to live and work.
