Marie Monville
Former Wife of the Amish Schoolhouse Shooter
“When all other lights go out, He still shines!” This became the anthem to Marie’s life when on
October 2, 2006, her then-husband made a decision to hold an Amish schoolhouse hostage,
forever changing life as she knew it. It is her testimony, forged while moving through unthinkable
circumstances, into the unfathomable love of the Father. On her darkest day, Marie simply chose
to believe that HE IS. Her act of faith radically propelled her into a future she could not have
hoped for or imagined. Marie ministers the truth of God’s love: it is deep enough to heal any
wound, strong enough to break all bondage and brings light to those in darkness. In the years
since God continues to unfold his beautiful plan of redemption over her family.
Marie tells a story of forgiveness, healing, and the restoration God has done in her life. She is living proof that God can bring beauty
out of brokenness, and she loves to share that message with others. She will inspire you to dive deep into a relationship with
God, which will transform your life and impact all you encounter. She believes that God is real, He is alive, and His love brings us to
life. Marie and her husband, Dan, live in Lancaster County, PA, with their 6 children. They traveled to South Africa in July 2015,
where they adopted their son. Marie is passionate about adoption and shares this through her ministry. She graduated from the
School of Ministry (Christ Community Church, Camp Hill, PA) in 2012.
Ok, that’s the bio, but here’s the real me. I’m a wife and mom of 6 kids. I’m passionate about my family and believe in the
redemptive beauty of adoption. You’ll find me advocating for the older child. Family dinners are special, so they are a priority in
our home. Sometimes that means a nice meal on real dishes, and other days, that’s leftovers on paper plates! I’m a dreamer,
a believer, and if you’re in my circle, I’ll champion you and your goals! I love real relationships, and that means living life with
authenticity. So, on any given day there might be 12+ pairs of my kids’ shoes between our living and dining room;
I’m still working on that!

Pastor Ken Yates
Have you ever looked at your life and tried to figure out
how the plans you thought were taking you in one direction
suddenly ended up somewhere you never envisioned?
I have. And I didn’t see it coming.
On October 2, 2006, my life changed. My husband and I
were married almost 10 years. I was a stay at home mom
to 3 young kids (ages 7, 5 and 18 months). I thought we
had a good relationship. I loved my family. Life was simple.
When I woke up that morning I had no idea that before lunchtime I would become a widow,
my kids would no longer have a father, and my community would face heartbreaking
devastation.
My husband committed the Amish Schoolhouse shooting. My simple, predictable life was
over. I could not comprehend how this man I loved, this man who loved our kids, was capable
of killing children. But there was no way to deny it. Everyone asked me to answer for
Charlie’s choices, but I didn’t have answers. All I held were broken pieces of the life we built
and the promises we made. I felt devastated and desperate, but not without hope. God was
our constant, and I knew I could trust him. He had showed me in countless ways throughout
the years that he was faithful. To me, this was much bigger than anything I had faced before,
but I knew he didn’t see it that way. He saw our pain, not from a distance, but from the place
where we stood. That day I chose to surrender my brokenness and trust him with something I
could not see my way through.
God promised redemption. And he has kept his promise.
And if you find yourself walking a similarly unexpected road, know that the same God who
writes his redemption story in my life is writing one in yours. Nothing is impossible. His love
never fails.
