Pieter and Melinda Lagaay

Meet the speakers

Melinda and Pieter are passionate about seeing marriages restored and thriving. Melinda grew up with divorced parents. As the void in her heart increased so did her drive to fill it. She began dating and seeking approval from men to fill this need in her heart. Pieter was raised in a family that placed a high value on hard work and success through academic excellence and professional performance. Pieter went to medical school and law school but fell into the bondage of porn and sexual addiction. His professional career collapsed and they faced a likely second divorce. Then, simultaneously, Melinda heard the audible voice of God while Pieter had an open vision and encountered Jesus. Today Pieter and Melinda’s marriage is stronger than it has ever been. It is filled with a deep love because they have seen the wounds of each other's hearts healed. Their minds are continuously being renewed with beliefs that are solidified in the truth about themselves and each other. For the first time in their marriage, they have tools to maintain peace in their daily life and see each other's hearts like never before. This is not only possible for everyone but is meant for everyone. To see the heart of others as Father God does. That is a true experience of the Father’s heart.
