Both Judy and Robert were born and raised in Northern California where they separately found the Lord, outside any church or denomination. They were quickly immersed into revival by Jill Austin and Altha Singh.

In the mid-nineties, they felt the Lord calling them to formal Bible education, and they relocated to Tulsa, Oklahoma. They graduated from Victory Bible Institute - a word of faith based Bible college. There they received rich impartations from Lester Sumrall, T. L. Osborn, Charles Capps, Richard Roberts, and Kenneth E. Hagin. At that time, they were immersed deep in revival at Kenneth Hagin’s ongoing meetings at Rhema Bible Training Center, and Rodney Howard-Browne’s powerful meetings in Christ Chapel at ORU. They came to know that the Word is absolutely true and the presence of the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. Water - the washing of the Word, to wine - the Holy Spirits as new wine.

A short time after graduation, both were ordained and licensed. And at the Lord’s leading, they gave what had been imparted to them in a leadership training program they called “Young Lions” in Wagoner, Oklahoma.

Then, in 2000 the Lord led Robert to a church staff position in Tulsa. There he created a media department and honed his skills in video and graphics. There they both received many rich prophetic words from the monthly special speakers. John Arnott of the Toronto Blessing, Randy Clark, Bobby Conner, Pat King, Mahesh Chavda and Wesley Campbell among them. And there, the seeds of Firehouse! began to grow. Welcome to Firehouse!
