Ed and Vicky are the founders and Ed is president of Echo Ministries, Inc.

After graduation from Bible College in 1977, they married and began their ministry lives – a truly amazing and fruitful journey!

Both are equipped with Bible degrees and Music Minors from Central Bible College in Springfield, Missouri. They enjoy a wonderful heritage and rich history in the Assemblies of God with a credentialed ministry spanning more than 4 decades.

Vicky is a wonderful gift to Ed.  Not only is she his best friend, she brings tremendous value to the ministry.  She is a gifted pianist, a lover of Jesus and people. She is a true cheerleader to Ed.  (She actually was a cheerleader in high school and Bible College.) She also travels with Ed when possible and is a key to much of the administrative elements of Echo. This ministry would not be what it is without her influence and touch.

Vicky and I are so incredibly proud of our sons Matt & Micah. They walk with wisdom. They walk with maturity. They walk with Jesus.  We are thrilled by their choice in spouses, Erica and Jordan. We are elated by the grand babies they’ve enriched our lives with. They have excelled as husbands, dads, sons, and Jesus followers. We’ve watched them bloom and grow where they’ve been planted. We love them supremely and are honored to call them our Sons and Daughters-in-Love!

Matt has been serving as a Staff Pastor at Christian Life Cathedral in Fayetteville, Arkansas for a number of years. Erica is a licensed REALTOR® as well as mom to Redden & Elle.

Micah is a tenured IT professional and guitarist. Jordan is a stay at home mom with their daughters, Nora and Eden. Micah and Jordan are both actively involved at Cross Church in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
