But, in 2022, on their 12-year wedding anniversary, the Lord moved them to give it all up by birthing in them a dream and vision for a unique marriage ministry, Three Cord Marriage. A ministry by which they would pay forward the miraculous redemption God provided them in their own marriage, and equip and empower couples to experience true unity and live into their marriage’s divine purpose.

Having overcome infidelity, addiction, emotional abuse, and the like, Raymond and Leslie were compelled to share the truth about their marriage as a means of providing hope and healing to others.

Through creativity that only comes from the Father, they have developed a street-smart, spiritually led, non-profit marriage ministry that, in just a short period of time, has reached nearly 2,000 people, on 6 different continents and, created unique and impactful marriage events that challenge the mind, stir the Spirit, and leaves husbands and wives more in love with God and each other.

42 years. They met at the University of Florida, where Jim played football for the Gators and
got a degree in business management.

have six young grandsons which are among their greatest joys.

years. His business and ministry work has taken him to over 40 nations, including work in
missions, international real estate, oil and gas, church planting, urban youth ministry, audio
Bible distribution, prison ministry, teen residential care, and now city transformation efforts.
Jim returned to Orlando last year to serve as CEO at Vision Orlando. In his role, he serves with
Dr. George Cope. Their vision is to help unite a significant remnant of the ekklesia in our
community around Jesus, by gathering and mobilizing leaders of faith in every arena of
influence in the city: business, government, education, media, arts and entertainment, family,
and church. He believes that there is no greater force for good on the earth than a united
ekklesia.

Jim says, “God has allowed us to join Him in his work all over the world. God is at work in
absolutely amazing ways around the globe. And I am blessed to have seen just a tiny portion of
what He is doing. I have tried to live by the axiom of Dr. Henry Blackaby, who says, ‘find out
where God is at work, and join him.’”

In 2019, Jim left his work in teen residential care and began a sabbatical. In prayer, he asked
the question, “God, what do you want me to do now?” And to his surprise, God responded,
“You are asking the wrong question. Who do you want to become?” Jim then spent the next
couple of years on a fascinating journey of discovery which has further transformed his life.
