Gabriel and Esther Olawande have given their lives to champion the cause of building strong and healthy marriages and raising children in an environment that enables them to thrive, flourish and achieve their full potential.
On Saturday 9 February 2008, the Olawandes with three other couples came together to discuss different aspects of marriage and lessons learnt –there was no counselling, no airing of dirty linen in public, no group therapy – and it seemed to work! Since then, many marriages and families have been blessed by the ministry.
