Hello, we are the Ayo’s, 

My name is Joseph, and this is my wife Lisa. The Lord has blessed us with the ministry of music and Helps. We are glad to meet you and would like to share a little about us. I am a musician and play multiple instruments. I started playing when I was six and my love of music has continued to increase as the years have gone on. I have composed and written praise and worship music for 30 plus years. I’m also a Site Director at a bank. Lisa and I have been leaders over the ministries of Helps. Together we have worked to organize and put in place procedures that will help grow start up churches we have planning many conferences and workshops to build the kingdom of Gods people.

My wife Lisa is my biggest fan and supporter of my music. She works in education helping youth and young adults in career planning. Lisa is also a professional organizer, avid reader and a gifted writer of musicals and plays.  She will often bring me melodies and lyrics that the Lord has placed on her heart. We have been married over 33 years and have three adult children and are looking forward to grandchildren.   

Lisa and I have known the Jamison Dixons for more than 35 years. We were members of their church when “Pastor J” was pastoring.  We have great love and respect for them. We are looking forward to working with them in the ministry of “Except the Lord Build the House Ministries”.  We look forward to meeting you and sharing the biblical truths that have been the foundation of our lives.

We are the Bridgewater’s, Sean and Tamika.

I am Sean and I am a youth minister.  I have worked in ministry as a drummer, teacher, a coach and I am currently a minster with Teen and Youth Ministry in our local church. I work in information technology and one of my favorite things to do in my free time is to coach flag football.  

My wife Tamika is a public speaker and community activist.  She home schooled our boy’s and is a mighty prayer warrior. We have a passion for newlyweds. We believe that having the right tools will create a successful marriage. Together we started a ministry for couples who struggle with infertility and share our story of victory.  

We have been married for 26 years and have 3 wonderful boys.  We were members of “Pastor J’s” church and were blessed to be counseled and married by the Jamison Dixon’s ministries.   For many years they have been mentors and a true blessing in our lives. 

We are excited to be a part of “Except the Lord build the House Ministry.”   Tamika and I look forward to sharing all the wonderful truths that the Lord has given to us.   We, along with our good friends the Ayo’s look forward to meeting you and sharing Gods greatest gift, love.

Greetings everyone, My name is Denise Jamison, the eldest daughter of Bishop and DoRethia Jamison Dixon.  I am a foster parent, with three adult children and 12 grandchildren.  

As a retire Veteran with a BS and MBA degrees, I serve my church in Fresno, California as church administrator and a licensed California realtor.  It is also my desire to help with the challenges of single parenting and administration.  

“Except the Lord Build the House” is needed today more than ever before.  I’ve personally witnessed the positive impact the biblical and practical teachings of mom and dad have on marriages and families.  You will discover that their wisdom of years of pastoring and marriage will save and heal marriages.

We look forward to meeting and greeting you all as we share this powerful ministry with you.
