Stuart and MaryAnn's passion is to help people experience the Father's love, to challenge them in their pursuit of freedom, healing, and wholeness, and to inspire them to fulfill their God-given destiny.

They have served Cleansing Stream International in many capacities, from NorCal/Nevada Regional Reps, to MaryAnn serving as National Intercessor Coordinator, Strategic Development Director, and VP of Operations, and now as President. Earlier, MaryAnn developed turnaround strategies for small businesses facing financial difficulty.

Today, Stuart and MaryAnn still partner with other ministries and the marketplace to create an atmosphere full of the presence of God, power, miracles, and Kingdom advancement. Together they started a CS Seminar in their local church 20 years ago, birthing many other Seminars in their region that became the fastest-growing Retreat location. At the local level, Stuart served faithfully on the church board, and MaryAnn served on staff as Spiritual Formations Director, overseeing how new believers were connecting and maturing in Christ, from unbeliever to believer, water baptism, filled with the Holy Spirit, and serving the body. They demonstrate a dynamic husband-and-wife ministry of discipling, training, and releasing others, especially activating churches and individuals in Intercession, Altar Ministry, and Discipleship.

Stuart recently retired from a 30-plus-year career as a Chief Building Engineer. MaryAnn is licensed with the Assemblies of God, and they are associated with Christian Harvest Intl., ISDM, and Kingdom Harvest Alliance through GZI. Stuart and MaryAnn have been married for over 35 years, have three adult children, a daughter-in-love, one grandchild, and reside in Northern California.

Ada began her journey with Cleansing Stream in 2015 as a Customer Relations Specialist. She managed orders, connected with churches, and offered prayer and support to those who called in, embracing each interaction as an opportunity to minister. As Ada would often say, "This is my ministry." When the ministry relocated in 2019, Ada chose to remain in Southern California but continued to faithfully serve at retreats.

To deepen her understanding of her calling, Ada pursued theological studies at Life Christian University. She also served as a prayer leader at her church, guiding her team through Cleansing Stream and empowering them in healing and deliverance, a calling she feels is divinely placed on her life.

Five years later, an opportunity arose to rejoin Cleansing Stream as the Administrative Assistant to the President. Ada answered the call, moving from Southern California to Northern California to serve in this new role. She is deeply grateful to be back with Cleansing Stream and excited to serve in this capacity in this season.
