ABOUT US
Bill and Penny Banuchi were married as teenagers in 1968. After four
years in the military Bill pursued a career in
sales-engineering.
In 1981 Bill left his position as Director of Engineering for
a mid-size manufacturing firm to respond to the call of ministry.
He began pastoring a small United Methodist Church, then later,
Bill and Penny pioneered a new church -Living Waters Assembly of
God in Highland Falls, N.Y.
In 1990 Bill and Penny began experiencing marriage
difficulties that made it necessary to step down from the pulpit
to focus on restoring the marriage and the home. They have two
children, Dulcinea was born in 1973, and Bill Jr., born in 1976.
With the help of valued counselors they were able to work through
their issues and save their marriage from becoming one of the
tragic divorce stories plaguing our nation today. In 1993 Bill
resumed his calling to the ministry -this time as a counselor.
Bill received his academic training for counseling and ministry
from Wesley Theological Seminary and The Berean College of The
Assemblies of God. He is a licensed Professional Clinical Member
of The National Christian Counselors Association, a national
trainer for PREPARE/ENRICH, Life Innovations, Inc., and is
ordained through Elim Fellowship, Lima, NY. Penny is ordained
through CNET-USA, and is a member of the American Association of
Christian Counselors.
Since 1993 Bill has been ministering full time as a pastoral
counselor. In October 1997 Bill and Penny established Marriage &
Family Savers Ministries. Bill and Penny have an ever-increasing
burden to save marriages, even as their own was saved. Using the
professional training they've acquired, and perhaps more
importantly, the experience they've had working through their own
marital difficulties, they've seen exceptional results in
restoring marriages from what would appear to be hopeless
situations.
It is their vision to see the divorce rate plunge for the
benefit of millions of children, the preservation of a culture,
and to the glory of God.
Because they have found hope and restoration for their
marriage, they've been able to share that hope and restoration
with others.
