Richard was very happily married, then everything changed. Richard's wife and children were killed in a car accident. Richard lost his job and was living on the streets. At that time, he blamed God for the death of his family. He didn't care if he lived or died. While walking the streets, Richard came across a shelter. There, he met a young woman. In all their conversions, the young woman named Denise led Richard to accept Christ as his personal savior.

They got married and opened their home to anyone who was homeless and needed a place to stay.
