Bob attended Norval Hayes School in Cleveland Tenn. and the fire of God was ignited in him to win souls and teach and feed the needy.  Under Gods direction he launched several food ministries that are still in operation today. In 1999 they was offered a position to move to Missouri and work for the ministry of Joyce Meyer, however they opted out and moved to Broken Arrow OKlahoma to secure a position with Rhema Bible Church and to attend Rhema Bible College.Where they are both presently licensed and ordained

Jerrie Define

Finance

Jerrie was born into a military family at Hamilton Field AFB outside Petaluma with two older sisters and one older brother. Jerrie and her family moved often because of her fathers military assignments. Jerrie says, ”The day after President John Kennedy was assassinated, is the day her family left for Ohio, and moved to Navarre. After graduation, Jerrie met and married the love of her life, her “second rock”, Bob Define.  Jerrie and Bob raised two sons and one daughter.  Jerrie is retired from the Village of Navarre and Nickles Bakery Thrift Store.

Jerrie enjoys researching her ancestry, reading history, reading her Bible, and her monthly meetings with Daughters of the American Revolution. Jerrie says, “I cannot remember a time in my life that Jesus Christ has not been a part of it.  Jesus is my “first rock”. He has always been there for me to help me through the good times and well as the bad.  I believe He always answers my prayers. Sometimes, not in the way I am hoping for them to be answered, but what turns out to be the best way. I cannot imagine my life without Jesus in it.

"Her favorite verse is John 3:16  For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He gave up His only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Working along side Jerrie in finances:  Phyllis Davidson, and Stephanie Miller
