Gary and Marilyn Stafford grew up active in their respective churches, even as young adults. After years of marriage they both personally renewed their commitment to The Lord, becoming more active in reaching out to others in the community. They worked together to help the broken and the poor. No call of God on Gary or Marilyn’s life was too great or too small. They contributed in everything from roles of serving to administration within the church. For years they held Bible studies and home groups at their house as well as provided support for anyone they knew; they were always just a phone call away. After Gary was ordained as a pastor, they started a food pantry out of the basement of their church. In any way they could lend a hand to help others they would. They even helped a pastor establish a church in NY and years later a prayer house on the Mount of Olives in Israel.

They have always remained steadfast in reaching out in kindness and compassion with the heart of Christ. Gary and Marilyn feel strongly that the food pantry that was so near and dear to their hearts was not solely about giving out food to the hungry; it was about reaching out to the hearts and souls of those they encountered. Whether it was for prayer or a smile, they were there for needed support.

Gary and Marilyn believe that the most important thing in this world is to give hope, spread joy and bring salvation for souls.
