John and Kathy Bouma have been married since 2001 and,
collectively, are parents to 5 children, 4 children-in-law, and 5
grandchildren. Their life and relationship is a living testament to God's grace
and redeeming love. They share their home with two international students from
Saudi Arabia and any other 'refugees' who need a safe and loving place to
stay.
John has the word of God etched on his heart! He is a man of
God with generosity and hospitality as two of his greatest gifts. His passion
is teaching - especially the kids from Kindergarten to Grade 4 where he can
truly release the child within and have fun with the kids while learning about
all that God wants for them. Listening to a child's pure heart during prayer
brings tears to his eyes. John's work as a kitchen and bath designer also
provides an outlet for his creative energies. When not at work, you can find
John at home, providing the entertainment and hospitality for the many
gatherings and parties that take place there.
