Tadius and Gwendolene N.T. Mawoko are renowned marriage counsellors with over 34 years experience in counselling, both married and premarital couples, having started counselling by grace just after their first year wedding anniversary. Tad is a former Air Traffic Controller, and Gwen is a former Safari and Travel Agent who worked for Safari companies and airlines. They hold several theological degrees that all include counselling modules, including a Doctorate in Ministry. Drs. Tad and Gwen also attained Certificates in Advanced Christian Counselling from Christ For The Nation Institute (CFNI), Dallas, Texas. They both hold Graduate Certificates in Education Studies and Master of Counselling from Monash University, Melbourne.  Their style of teaching and counselling is Bible based and full of real life examples and testimonies from their marriage and counselling experiences, all with a generous dose of humour, which has made them much sought after speakers at conferences, Couples Retreats and Premarital Couples’ Classes. They have held very successful weekend Couples Retreats and seminars, on several continents, and many couples have been helped, including some who were on the verge of divorce. Both are fully certified and registered counsellors with two counselling associations in Australia. Apart from marriages, they are mental health therapists, offering help in the areas of stress, anxiety, depression, alcohol and other drugs and suicide.

Through their media company REVIVE MEDIA, they strive to make their books, podcasts, and teachings available. Dr. Tad is soon releasing the second edition of his first book on missionary work and church-planting entitled “Cross Cultural Mission Work and Church Planting – The Mermoirs of a Young Missionary Couple.” He has just released his long awaited, popular book on marriage entitled “Your Marriage… Heaven or hell on earth?” Dr. Gwen authored and published a 21 Day Marriage Devotional for women entitled “Toward Marital Bliss.” She has just recently published a follow-up book entitled “Toward Marital Bliss: Marriage Nuggets.” Pastors Tad and Gwen are passionate about marriage and family relationships and believe marriage must be enjoyed and not endured. They totally believe it’s the will of God for us all to have marriages that are a piece of heaven on earth. They are also mental health advocates. Tad and Gwen are pastors in Forward In Faith Ministries Intl, a global ministry that has nurtured them from their youth. They are passionate motivational speakers, too. God has blessed them with three adult children, Bethel, Bethany, and Belinda, a son-in- love and an amazing grandson.
