The journey for Paul and Tammy began in the summer of 1989. They met at a church in Decatur, IL. Only six months later, on February 23rd, 1990, they were married by their pastor, Lonnie Hilton. In 1994, they were led of the Lord to move to Missouri for Paul to take a teaching position. From there, they moved to Tulsa, OK to attend bible school from 1997-1999.  For the next 22 years they were self-employed and poured themselves into marketplace ministry. After retiring the business, the next step was to start The Rock in Sedalia, MO.
