National Missionary Marriage Restoration Saves a Failing Marriage

WILLS POINT, TX – Discover how a national missionary helped a couple find Jesus and complete marriage restoration when all hope seemed lost.

Adas’s response—or lack thereof—stifled the small, roadside home. Was he willing to change?

GFA pastor Balt had come to the house because Adas’s wife, Para, desperately wanted help. Their marriage was in dire straits. Para had sought Pastor Balt’s counsel, and she was willing to change. Much of the change that needed to happen, however, also depended on Adas’s response. Adas’s silence hung in the air.

It had been a passionate teenage romance. Para and Adas started seeing each other when Adas worked on a vegetable farm near Paras’ parents’ home. Neither of their parents approved of the relationship; they thought Para and Adas were too young. So at age 19, Para and Adas eloped. Suddenly, they had what they so desperately wanted … or did they?
