NORMAN & MARY YODER |Mentors for Couples
After receiving healing through several ministries, Norman and Mary felt called to open their hearts to others. They now walk alongside couples, listening to their stories and gently shepherding them toward truth and freedom in Jesus—just as they once experienced. Their passion is helping others find freedom in Christ and discover purpose in life.
They live on-site at Pilgrim Hills and assist with caring for the property and grounds.
Mary is a lover of nature, gardening, and birdwatching. Her home is often bursting with color year-round, reflecting her joyful spirit. She treasures time with her children and grandchildren and also hosts the Transforming Stories ladies’ retreat—one of her favorite ways to connect with and encourage women.
Norman shares Mary’s love for the outdoors and especially enjoys hunting and fishing. Whether he’s on the water boating, swimming, or casting a line, he finds peace in creation. Camping is something they both enjoy, and between ministry, nature, and family, they always find meaningful ways to spend their time.

Christina is committed to maintaining confidentiality and making sure your experience with Pilgrim Hills is smooth, welcoming, and encouraging.
In her free time, she enjoys music, reading, coffee, sewing for others, jogging, spending time outdoors, and sharing meaningful conversations with friends—all while growing in her walk with Jesus each day .
