Tim and Rebecca Hawkins – Standing Stone Ministry
After 25 years of serving overseas in several different countries, we have relocated to Michigan and are stepping into a new season of ministry with Standing Stone Ministry. Our desire is to use the experience we’ve gained over the years to come alongside other ministry leaders and their spouses in supporting their well-being, longevity, and effectiveness in the call God has placed on their lives.
This past week, we were in Ohio for a regional staff conference with fellow Standing Stone shepherds. At the end of May, we will be hosting and facilitating a week-long retreat for a pastor and his wife. We invite you to pray that they find deep rest in God’s presence and encounter Him in fresh and meaningful ways. Please also pray for us that we would lead with wisdom, discernment, and grace.
