Paul & Rebekah Lafontaine
Brother Paul is the founder and Pastor of Literal Life Ministries. He
began the ministry as small church services and Bible studies on
the east side of Toledo, Ohio over twenty years ago. He has
traveled in over twenty-five countries and five continents; preaching,
teaching, and singing in conventions and youth camps. His inspired songs
have also blessed thousands around the world. Brother Paul also helped
found the Winter Youth Retreat, a special four day training and teaching
camp for youth ages 16 and up. The WYR has inspired hundreds of young
people for the past twenty years. Sister Rebekah has faithfully sang and
served beside Brother Paul as well. She is an excellent homeschool mom
and has assisted in the accounting work of the ministries. They
have four children and pray they will be filled with God's Spirit and
serve the Lord. Paul and Rebekah have a consistent passion and burden
for God and His people.
Richard & Christine Hyatt
Brother Richard and his family came to Literal Life in 2001 and began to
heed a call in his life to start preaching in 2003. His teaching
ministry has been a great help and strength to the local fellowship of
believers. Richard and Christine have also helped with many of the
extra events including youth meetings at their home. They have a farm
with their three children in Palmyra, Michigan to fulfil their love for
horses and other animals. Richard is a developer analyst for Maritz
Research Company. God has brought them both through many trials to
offer an understanding heart to those going through the same thing.
