Strengthening counselors. Restoring marriages.
Building lasting foundations in Christ.

Gene Willis

Become a Prepare/
Enrich Facilitator

To equip pastors, deacons, and counselors with the tools, training, and biblical foundation they need to walk alongside couples through life's hardest moments — reducing divorce, restoring communication, and leading individuals toward a lasting relationship with Jesus Christ.


My Mission:

"How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word. With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments."
- Psalm 119:9–10

Your couples need more than advice. They need a plan.

Ordained to ministry in 1976, Gene has spent nearly five decades answering the call to serve others — building a biblical counseling center from the ground up that grew into a full team, and helping three additional churches launch counseling ministries of their own.

At the heart of his work is the Prepare/Enrich program, which he has used for over 13 years to walk more than 125 couples through assessment, communication, and restoration — an approach shown to reduce divorce by 30%.

As a Board Certified Pastoral Counselor with the AACC and a registered Prepare/Enrich trainer, Gene now equips pastors, deacons, and counselors to become facilitators themselves — multiplying the impact of this life-changing tool across the local church.

In his 13 years of counseling ministry, he has had the privilege of leading many individuals to faith in Jesus Christ.

About your Trainer, Gene Willis.

Your personal stories, and others that were shared during the class, were very edifying and encouraging and added practical dimensions to the training. I left hopeful and renewed in my desire to lean further into biblical counseling, and caring for and walking with others in what is often their lowest moments in life.

Your passion for helping couples build stronger, healthier relationships was evident throughout the day, and I appreciated the way you made the material approachable, interactive, and easy to apply.

Gene Willis is an outstanding presenter. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and genuine care for this work shine throughout the training. He creates a welcome learning environment, shares relatable examples, encourages participation, and keeps the day engaging from start to finish.
