Marriage Mentor

Steve & April Swartz married in 1977, and they have five grown
children and five grandchildren. Steve attended Rosedale Bible
Institute in Ohio and then spent 3 years teaching music in a
private school setting in Goshen, Indiana. A few of his hobbies are farming, fishing, and good conversations. Steve and April moved
to Michigan where he served as pastor of a small congregation
and then began a construction business. In the fall of 2003, Steve
and April were exposed to “Biblical Concepts in Counseling” (now
known as “Caring for the Heart Ministry”) and shortly thereafter founded Haven of Hope Ministries. Haven of Hope is an associated office of Caring for the Heart Ministry. They now work as a team in ministry, helping couples find compassion, hope & restoration.

Jim and Diane have been married since 2013.  In 2014, they felt called to mission work in Ghana, West Africa. For 6.5 years they served as the mission field directors overseeing a Bible seminary, local churches, and various evangelistic outreaches. Jim and Diane were first exposed to Haven of Hope Ministry when they held a Two Hearts, One Flame Marriage Retreat for their local Ghanaian church. Upon their return to the U.S. in 2020, their hearts were drawn to join Haven of Hope Ministry, where Jim and Diane are now serving as mentors showing the love of Jesus to hurting couples. Jim also serves as the Building Blocks for Relationship Follow-Up program director.

The Adamsons welcomed their little baby girl to this world in May of 2022!

Jim enjoys music, photography, and the great outdoors. Diane loves fellowship, travel, and a warm cup of tea.
