The Ministry Focus:
The ministry of New Beginnings has a threefold focus: Counseling, Mentoring and Missions. A major focus is to bring the power and wisdom of
God’s Word into the personal counseling arena, providing healing, restoration and growth. New Beginnings Counseling Center is operated to
provide compassion and Biblical revelation to hurting people. The,second focus is to restore, train and equip the saints for ministry by identifying
and developing their gifts. This is accomplished not only by mentoring and seminars, but also by providing hands on experience with local
ministries and short-term mission trips. Third, but equally important is that of overseas missions by bringing in U.S. teams to impact and renew
mission works overseas. These teams establish medical/dental clinics, feeding programs for the needy, support orphanages, and church growth,
evangelism, and establish Bible schools for ministry training. We send aid in the form of medicines, medical equipment, dental equipment,
clothing, food, Bibles, tracts, and help build churches and schools. The world is dying without a Savior and we want to make a difference: a New
Beginning! .

and then send you forth into the Lord’s harvest.

Pastoring/Colleges:
After serving as Associate Pastors in several churches, they founded and pastored a new work in Lawrenceville for six years. Wayne’s mother was
found with incurable cancer requiring constant care so they released their church. After her death, they returned to ministry in the churches
around the Lawrenceville area transitioning into a teaching, traveling, missions, and counseling ministry. Wayne and Marcia have been instructors
and deans in several Bible colleges and have helped to train a new generation of ministers and counselors.
Missions:
Each year they travel abroad with short term mission teams to such places as Africa, Jamaica, India, Peru, and Costa Rica (to name a few) to
establish Bible schools, lead medical teams and to provide hands on training for ministers.

Personal Testimonies:
They believe in the miraculous power of God to transform lives, having experienced it first hand. At the age of five, Marcia was stricken with a rare
incurable blood disease (similar to the boy in the plastic bubble) which kept her homebound and often bedridden. At the age of ten, her mother
took her to a tent meeting in Marietta, Georgia where she was miraculously healed and began a pathway to a worldwide vision & ministry. God
also provided a miracle of healing to their son at the age of four raising him from a death bed of spinal meningitis. Through the power of prayer,
Marcia’s mother was healed of kidney stones, which had existed for six years. Another son was totally healed and restored after a bad wreck had
left him in a wheelchair in 2001. While they have personally witnessed God’s healing power, they have also learned how to remain victorious and
compassionate in the face of tragedy and loss as they ministered to other family members with cancer who died.
