Diane has been a dear sister-in-Christ to me for several years. We met through work and instantly bonded with our love for people and God. Unexpectedly, I found myself in the middle of a heartbreaking situation when I discovered my husband's affair with a coworker. I don't know what I would have done to get through each day at work workout Diane gently but firmly directing me to keep my eyes on the Lord. Diane helped me know what to expect (regarding betrayal trauma) and prayed endlessly with me and for me. She suggested books, in addition to the Bible, of course, to help me in my grief - and anger. She helped me get to a place of compassion for not only my ex-husband but also his affair partner - seeing them through the eyes of Christ and being able to sincerely pray for them. I learned to listen for God in the midst of heartache and chaos, be still and search myself for things I needed to admit to, repent and ask forgiveness for. Growth can be painful and hard to face, but with God, it is so worth it. Coming out on the other side of pain, which took me about five years, was the hardest thing I've ever done. I wouldn't trade that experience for anything, painful as it was. Diane helped me understand Romans 8:28 - "God uses all things for the good of those who are the called, according to His purpose," really means what it says, and for His glory. Diane is a gem and I will always be so thankful God placed her in my life. -Sue Saddoris.
The first time I met Herb was on the phone because of a Men's Encounter that my husband was attending. Herb wanted to pray with him, support him and encourage him. The first time I met Diane was at a Women's Encounter a few months later. I had specifically asked the Lord to give me a word, because I was hungry to hear in that particular way. When she and another gal that was with her prayed with me that day, Diane did exactly that. The Lord gave her a word and it just rang true in my spirit. Herb and Diane have been a blessing to us, even before they knew anything about us. They shared the love of Jesus, the presence of Jesus and in today's day and age, when there is such a hunger for Jesus, this couple has been pursuing and walking with Him, and has been reflecting Him. They have been speaking truth over the years and even though we haven't known each other for long, we have been knit in spirit and in truth. I so appreciate Herb and Diane for who they are and they journey they have been willing to walk with the Lord. It has helped me. -Kathryn Carty
Herb displays the love and compassion of Christ in a way that I have seen very few people show others. One thing that has always deeply ministered to me is that Herb always really listens to me and my heart, speak words of Gods' wisdom to me and pray for me, and I always leave his presence encouraged and empowered. ~Beth Jones, International Speaker and Amazon Best Seller Author, www.BethJones.net
I was truly blessed to have the right person at the right time. I watched him everyday help those in need. But little did I know he would help me, a coworker, the most in my time of need. He is a great serving man who I owe a lot too. ~Melonie Schacher DPS, Hospice
Herb cares for others in the community and presents an astounding bereavement program. I would feel comfortable in recommending Herb Bishop to assist you in your journey of grief. He has a wonderful ability to provide spiritual support and direction. ~ Sandy Lowrance RN, LNHA, Hospice Admin.

On a cold morning in January 2019, I lost my wife to cancer. I was devastated and in shock. I can't remember the days and weeks until her funeral in February. That had to be one of the worst days in my life, a final good by to my wife. After all that, I was finally alone with my thoughts. I had many thoughts and feelings during those long months leading into spring, summer, and fall. Most were not pleasant or healthy. I thought I could get thru this time, and times to come, by myself, but I couldn't. I had been seeing a lot of my father during this time. Somehow, he knew what I was going thru. We would talk about anything, and sometimes wouldn't talk at all. It helped. I had been offered grief counseling from Hospice, and decided to make the call, not knowing what to expect. I did know I need something, help. That is when I met Herb Bishop. I remember now, that I was a real mess, emotionally and physically. I was in deep grief. I have never felt this before. I don't know how Herb did it, but from our many talks, I finally started to pray to God for help and forgiveness, and I asked why He did this to my wife, to me. Herb told me that God has a plan for everyone, even me. I wanted answers now, but God told me I would see Him someday, and my wife, and all would be answered. Herb and Diane have guided me through my personal journey, and with my Dad's help, Herb and Diane's help, and Gods help, I have survived and am moving forward with life. Yes, I regrettably had God third on the list, but now He is first on my list, Herb and Diane are second. My "team" to keep focused on the important things. My Father has passed on and is in Heaven, watching my journey, as is my wife, whom I lost almost 7 years ago. I am moving forward, never forgetting what happened in the past, and trying to enjoy life the best I can. Jeff Ginter
