About Us

Dear Worldwide Marriage Encounter Community,

Welcome to a new chapter of Gifts from your Heart.  We are Paula & John Geist, the new owners in Nashville, TN.  We have been part of the section 5 family since our WWME weekend in Jackson, TN February 2001.  We have been a gift couple for 8 years in the middle Tennessee area.  We have had the pleasure of attending the last 4 section 5 conventions and 2 national conventions since our weekend.  You may have met us at one of the section 5 conventions or last year at the 40th anniversary national convention in Ontario, CA selling handmade WWME rosaries.  We started our own business making and selling rosaries and now we have the opportunity to bring Rosaries Made with Care and Gifts from your Heart together as one to continue the ministry of God through couples and prayers.

We were married on June 25, 1993 in Nashville, TN.  We have four WWME children Emily, Matthew, Christopher and Mary.  We lost our son Jacob during a pregnancy this past March 31, 2009 and our WWME community was a huge part of our healing in the time of sorrow.  We are fortunate to have our children growing up in a WWME Family.

Gifts from your Heart was founded by David & Diana Bruce in 1983 in Northern California.

Dave & Joan Fister continued the ministry from David and Diana in 1995.  They were instrumental in bringing Gifts from your Heart to the internet.

Now we are going to continue to move Gifts from your Heart forward as a ministry to you our Worldwide Marriage Encounter family.  Thanks for visiting our website page.  We hope you enjoy the products we have for you to remember your weekend and continue the journey into God's kingdom together.

Celebrate your sacrament every day through dialogue and prayer together.

Love,

Paula & John Geist
