Kelly's Story

I graduated from U of Fla with a BS in Math and married in 75. WE took off for Abilene, TX, where I taught math in Middle school while Tom finished his Master's in Bible. We got involved in a very inspiring and Bible based church in college. What really pulled me in was that the people in this group were so sincere and so completely loving and that they really lived what they believed. After Abilene, we moved to Boulder, Colo. I don't see how anyone can live by the Rockies and not think about God! It was so exciting to see snow for the first time and to live at the foot of the mtns. I loved getting snowed in and cooking choc chip cookies and playing cards all day! Also, took up snow skiing which is an all time high as far as any sport I have been involved in. We started a campus ministry with one student and in 7 years had around 300 at the U of Colorado. It was exciting to see so many young people radically change their lives! We moved a few yrs later to SF, CA to work with another church. Then moved to Boston for 2 yrs and to LA to start a church in California. It is now around 9,000 members. I got melanoma and we got out of the ministry for a while. Tom went into healthcare and I worked at a Software Co. Then in 2000 we went back into the ministry. We were in CA for 15 yrs and have many great friends there! Our daughter is livin...Expand for more
g in OC with her husband and daughter. She is in Interior Design and is a singer on the side. Our son lived in the Ukraine for 3 yrs serving orphans. He taught English and wrote in a newspaper column to support himself. He majored in English and graduated Summa cum laude from UCLA. Yes, he is a brain like my dad! It was a life changing experience to live in a 3rd world country and to try to learn Russian. I have to say his apt was the dirtiest thing I have ever seen and he said it was actually one of the nicer places. I tried bleaching the toilet to no avail. Tom and I got to travel there to Kiev and stayed 2 weeks. It is so incredible to see how other people live around the world and yet to see how generous they can be in spite of having so little. Very humbling! We recently moved to GA to work with a church and to be closer to my parents. Our son is back from the Ukraine so we are happy to have him home and not have to use skype to try to communicate half way across the world. I realize I am a big humanitarium. I have always wanted to give back or in some way help people. You can look up Hope Worldwide and see some of the things we have been involved in. Both of my kids got to travel to Romania through Hope Youth Corp to help rebuild orphanages. We are adjusting to GA, but we really miss the water. I will always be a beach girl at heart.
