Twenty years ago Al & Pam began a personal journey of restoration for their marriage.  Having begun their marriage with a six year “honeymoon” of building great friendship, dream building, growing a family, being supportive of each other, and exciting physical intimacy, they awoke one day to ask . . .
            “Where has the romance gone?”
            “Where is the friendship we once felt?”
            “Where is that special closeness?”

What they learned were the answers to the questions other couples frequently ask, and has become the basis of this highly successful program for individuals and couples.

Since 1993, Al & Pam have worked side-by-side as a successful ministry team at Dayspring.  They bring to their work, as psychotherapists, the unique position of personally understanding the grief and struggles clients face.  Having walked the path in their own life, they offer compassionate encouragement, strong accountability and the wisdom of more than three decades of ministerial and professional clinical experience. 

In addition to directing the Dayspring program, Al & Pam are popular public speakers for workshops, seminars, retreats and camp meetings.  They have appeared frequently on Northwest television and radio programs over the past 15 years.  Please visit Resources to learn more about their speaking ministry.

Dayspring has additional staff Counselors with Masters Level Degrees, who counsel in the areas of marriage and family, teen and children’s issues, trauma & abuse, anger management, depression, anxiety/panic disorders, codependency and spiritual wounds/abuse. The issues of recovery are “systemic” and the entire family system has been affected/infected, requiring a healing for all members of that family system (example: ACOA, Adult Children of Alcholics).
