THE SWILLEYS DARED TO LIVE THEIR DREAM 

For years their mission has been clear, their relentless passion is to help build better relationships in all areas of living. The guiding philosophy of the Swilleys is growing a better future for those who attend their sessions, listen to their CDs or join them on their web site.  www.wallaceswilley.org  They teach attendees how to go from intentions to reality.

Their strategies and tactics learned from years of weekly teaching and study has found wide acceptance. They cause people to recognize and rethink complex relationships in the four major areas of life - physical, financial, relational and spiritual. 

Since 70% of divorces have a root cause of money they deal with this area from their own successful example. They have put these financial principles and planning they teach into practice that has produced a successful life for them.

They believe every relationship is unique and must be customized through trial and error. To do this they insist that everyone must be sensitive to each other's needs. "if it doesn't work quit doing it if it does keep doing it."

The Swilleys believe that 95% of the need for counseling would be eliminated if people would get some CDs, good books and the best book you'll find is the Bible, sit under some good teaching then get on your knees and allow God’s Spirit to direct them.

From a long successful marriage and ministry along with two sons, Duane and Mark who started a ministry in Miami that now has over one thousand members. They believe they can speak with confidence and authority on building strong relationships.

Wherever they go whether it's a business convention with Charles Stanley or Zig Ziglar, one of America's top motivational speakers, or a small country church the results are the same - the people respond.

Dr. Paul Walker, says, "As a life time friend and pastor for 36 years I can recommend Wallace and Ernestine as a committed dedicated couple with a desire to strengthen all relationships."

A feature article in the Atlanta Journal called the Swilleys one of America's marriage and family motivators. Their presentations are motivational, inspirational and informational. It is very obvious they enjoy what they do.

Millions go to bed every night with wounds that won’t bleed and hurts that won’t heal feeling that no one cares and tomorrow will just be more of the same. The Swilleys are committed to building better futures for every one.  Ministry to the family is a “basic function of the church" For that reason they believe the family is the number one mission field in the world today.

They speak to the purpose of God for this generation and for the generations to come.

The questions the Swilleys ask are – what will we do? How will we respond? Will we show that we care? Will we use the opportunity God is giving us? If we don’t then who will?

They contend until we reach out corporately and individually nothing will change in our churches, schools and society.  The sad thing for many tomorrow may be too late. They issue a passionate call for action in every appearance.

They believe their task is unfinished and they are excited about the future.

 BACKGROUND

Both Wallace and Ernestine parents were pastors and church leaders.  They were both very active in the father’s churches.  Both were eighteen when they met and married shortly thereafter.  For several years they served as pastor and then Youth and Christian Education leader for several hundred churches in Georgia and Ohio. Following that they resigned and began to travel as a family.

For many years Wallace and Ernestine, along with their sons Duane and Mark, were known as the “Singing Swilley Family” with Ernestine on the piano, Duane on the base and Mark on the drums they provided a sound that would set your heart to dancing.  They recorded over 100 songs on 9 albums (CDs).  They co-hosted their own TV show that originated in the studios of WMAZ the CBS outlet in Macon GA and was shared with other stations through out the southeast.

During this time Duane and Mark began to build one of the largest youth ministries in America called Alpha that reached an average attendance of 1,500 every Monday night.  The church they worked in exploded from 300 to over 12,000.00 members. 

This demanded a change in Wallace and Ernestine’s presentations.  They began to put all their efforts in helping people build better futures by teaching about relationships their risk and potential.  Their appearances have taken them around the world.

In the mid nineties Duane with his family and Mark left the church they were with and moved to Miami and began a new church with only four people besides Duane, Mark and Sunny (Duane’s wife) and their kids.  A Place Called Hope has grown at this point to over a thousand members. Their children Joshua, (Keren Joshua’s wife) Joan and Esther now lead in the areas of worship, dance and drama.
