Who We Are
WAM Founders Bob & Ann Schultz have resided on the Monterey Peninsula for over 30 years. Since their conversion in the early 70’s they have been active in Kingdom ministry, serving as leaders in the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, multi-denominational prayer groups, pastored a home church, and were organizers of the Monterey Peninsula March for Jesus for a number of years. In the 1980’s they organized Concerts of Prayer on the peninsula. For many years, they held a weekly prayer meeting at the YMCA in Monterey to pray for peninsula cities. They are licensed by Evangelistic Missionary Crusades, an international missions organization based in Los Angeles since 1960
Bob and Ann, married for 30 years, have formed a strong spiritual team, sharing ministry of the Word and music. They have ministered together in California, the United Kingdom, Central America, and Africa. Most recently, they spent two weeks in Uganda, working with Fresh Oil Ministries, where they were part of a ministry team for an international conference for pastors from 6 African Nations. They are members of the Evangelical Ministerial Association of Monterey.
Bob’s call is prayer and the Word of God. He leads a weekly meeting of intercessory worship and prayer (Harp & Bowl), and is a frequent guest preacher at local churches.
He was a member of the core team on the California Prayerwalk in 1995, which covered the original Camino Real, tracing the route of Father Junipero Serra from mission to mission – 850 miles from San Diego to San Francisco. He is the co-founder of the Christian Men’s Fellowship Breakfast, which meets the third Tuesday morning of each month at the Monterey Hilton. He has participated in Pastors Prayer Summits with other Monterey Peninsula Pastors.
