ABOUT THE DIRECTORS




Directors: Dennis "Chris" and Juanita Gissentaner

The Lord has taught Chris and Juanita many lessons as they worked through the pain of divorce, re-marriage and blended family dynamics. Married in 1977 they now have six adult children who the Lord is grooming for ministry. 

Chris and Juanita were ordained for the ministry of the Lord 1994. Since 1996 Chris and Juanita have been actively involved in marriage ministry, conducting seminars, small groups, and couple to couple mentoring. They served as area directors of the Lower New York division for Marriage Ministries International. Chris and Juanita have seen the mighty hand of God move as He healed relationships, cancelled Satan’s assignments of divorce, and united couples as ministry teams. 

Chris and Juanita are excited about what God is doing as they continue to help prepare His people in learning how to reflect God’s love. They were released into full time ministry and currently reside at the ministry headquarters “Restoration Nest” in Fallsburg, New York.

MARRIAGE

"Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled."
Hebrews 13:4a
 
"Love is patient, Love is Kind and is not jealous; Love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
I Corinthians 13: 4-7

Talk about spiritual things.
Pray with your wife.

 
Value her words and be understanding with her...
"You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered".
I Peter 3: 7

"Be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives."
I Peter 3: 1b
