Dwell Ministry: Two Becoming One

Kent and Michelle Sterchi were married in 1983 in Orlando, Florida and daily depend upon the love, grace, and mercy of God for oneness in their marriage. They have two grown children and 4 beautiful grandchildren.
Kent has faithfully served in both para-church and church ministry positions over the past 30 years.  Most recently, he served as Minister of Discipleship at First Presbyterian Church of Orlando. Michelle loved being a stay at home mom and during those years led numerous women’s bible studies, mentored young moms, and has a vital prayer ministry. Together, Kent and Michelle have counseled and married over 150 couples during the past 15 years, following their growing passion to prepare engaged couples for marriage by using both the Prepare/Enrich assessment and truths from God’s Word to establish a biblical foundation for the covenant of marriage.
Over the past several years, God has made it very clear that He was preparing the Sterchi’s to form DWELL, a Ministry to Strengthen Marriages, and to partner with Christian Family Life as Marriage Missionaries.  God has been opening doors not only to continue premarital counseling but also for them to lead Two Becoming One marriage retreats for local couples in the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Mexico and Madagascar. The Sterchi’s share how God has done abundantly more than they could have ever dreamed or imagined in their lives and marriage. They are humbled to teach His unchanging truths to others and consider it a joy to work together as husband and wife, and to witness firsthand the miraculous, transforming power of God at work in marriages all around the world.

In 2019 the Sterchi’s were invited to lead three marriage retreats in Antananarivo, Madagascar for the FJKM Church. This large denomination has recognized the great need to teach biblical truth on marriage and family. Two retreats were held for the FJKM seminary students and their spouses and the third retreat was for the FJKM church leadership staff and their spouses. They also trained a group of leaders to facilitate the Two Becoming One small group bible study to help grow their marriage discipleship ministry and reach a greater number of couples with God’s truth in the future.
