Meet the Warford Family

Picture
Dea met his wife, Kathy in Upland, California where he was the youth leader.  It was love at first sight and they began dating immediately.  After a 20 month courtship, they were married in 1971. 

A beautiful, vivacious woman who often travels with Dea in his ministry journeys, Kathy has ministered to women's groups, taught Sunday school classes, ministered in Dea's place when he was sick, and has  a counseling, prophetic and deliverance ministry.  The Lord speaks to her in visions and dreams as well.  She is on staff working with younger children at the Warford’s home church, the Florence Avenue Foursquare church in Santa Fe Springs, California.
