As a result of attending Soaking Prayer Center training and the “In the Father’s Presence” conference at Toronto Christian Airport Fellowship in 2007, Father God drew them into a more intimate relationship with Him.  Receiving and walking in a deeper love relationship with Father has transformed their lives and ministry.  They began to work closer with Bill and Linda Boone at the Soaking Prayer Center and have partnered with them ever since to share the life-changing impact of intimacy with the Father, walking a lifestyle of resting in Him and receiving His love.

Ann was saved at a Billy Graham movie as a young teenager and shared her faith with Craig when they meet in 1969.  As a result, Craig gave his life to Jesus.  They were married in 1973 and have raised 3 sons, Toby, Andrew and Jeremy.  All their sons are now married, pursuing and serving the Lord and have given Craig and Ann 2 grandsons and 1 granddaughter.
