Gary and Dana believe the hope of the world is the local church, and the strength of the church is sustained by praying people. They believe no program in the world can substitute for equipping people to have a passion for prayer.

They have taught extensively on the role of prayer in spiritual awakening, counseled people to build strong marriages by equipping husbands and wives to pray together and have ministered internationally in Hong Kong, Japan, Tanzania, Kenya, Zambia and Switzerland.

Through their TALK LESS! PRAY MORE! Prayer Conferences, Gary and Dana lead people to accept the challenge to:

* Make prayer their personal passion and priority
* Partner with someone who will hold them accountable
* Equip Husbands and wives to affair-proof and divorce-proof their marriage
* Share how Dana’s 4 year successful battle with breast cancer has radically changed their lives to encourage and empower those who are battling the same disease.

Dana refers to her battle with breast cancer as her “Great Adventure” and it has intensified her passion to point people to prayer as priority in their lives. Both Gary and Dana long to invest in the lives of others through this “Great Adventure” - and teach others how to overcome the fear of the enemy!

Gary and Dana live in Fort Worth, Texas and have been married for 40 years. They are parents of two grown daughters, Ashley (married to Brent Warren) and Allyson.
