Mike & Barb Cox

Reserve Houseparents

Mike and Barb Cox served as houseparents at WVR from 2012-2015 in both the girls’ and boys’ homes. They returned to their home state of Indiana due to family obligations. While vacationing in the Smoky Mountains the fall of 2021, they visited the Ranch to catch up with former co-workers and students. They learned that the Ranch was praying for a 5th set of houseparents to offer rotating respite care for each of the current houseparents. They were excited about this news and very thankful that God was opening up an opportunity for them to serve once again at WVR. Mike and Barb are also able to use their skills in maintenance and teaching on other scheduled days. They are the proud parents of nine grown children and twenty-one grandchildren.
