REJOICE MARRIAGE MINISTRIES
A Spiritual Trauma Center For Hurting Marriages.
Bob and Charlyne Steinkamp met and married in the sixties in Pompano Beach, Florida where they still live today. Things were not always blissful for this couple. They separated several times and finally divorced in 1985 after 19 years of marriage. Two years later, in response to the prayers of a wife who had refused to give up on a prodigal husband, Bob and Charlyne were remarried, to the glory of God, who restored their marriage. In 1989, the Lord led them in two ways that were to become the birth of Rejoice Marriage Ministries. Rejoice Marriage Ministries has witnessed couple after couple whose hopeless marriages have been restored, even after divorce. The greatest accomplishment of the Ministry has been to help untold scores of men and women discover a relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ.
