Pastors Larry and Beverly Willige
were married on May 4, 1960. Prior to realizing the call of God on his life, Pastor Larry was a professional golfer in the Professional Golfers Association (PGA) for 20 years. Since answering the call of God, they’ve assisted in building two churches and pioneered two churches of their own.

Currently, LaBev Ministries serves the globe by ministering the Gospel of Jesus Christ as Pastors Helping Pastors.

In 1979, Reverends Larry and Beverly Willige graduated from RHEMA Bible Training Center in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, USA. In obedience to God, they took the $13.00 they had to their names, the handful of people they knew, and established LaBev Ministries, opening Word of Faith Fellowship on New Year's Eve 1981 in Eureka, Missouri.

For more than 25 years, not only did they serve as pastors, Larry Willige also served as the Chaplain of the Eureka Fire Department from 1986. In 2005, he was honored to have been selected as Eureka's Citizen of the Year.

Larry and Beverly led many people to the Lord, and as they taught and preached God’s Word, countless lives were healed and delivered. Families were taught how to live according to the Word, and to walk in the supernatural. Larry and Beverly served as pastors until the Lord directed them to retire as pastors of Word of Faith Fellowship on December 30, 2005.

While serving as pastors, Larry and Beverly Willige never limited their ministry to just inside four walls of one church.  God has used their faithfulness to His call to touch the hearts of others in many nations since the beginning of their walk with the Lord.  In 1990, the Lord provided an opportunity for them to minister in East Germany.  Since then, many doors of opportunity have opened into a worldwide ministry, where they have shared the truth of God’s Word extensively in Canada, Germany, Switzerland, and Colombia.  Out of these visits, God birthed a new vision in their hearts; Pastors Helping Pastors. Each month, pastors in more cities and countries are inviting them to minister in their churches.

It's always amazing to see what God has done with $13.00, and Larry and Beverly Willige believe the best is yet to come!
