About Kevin
Kevin: I prayed to receive Christ as a child after hearing the Gospel presented by my father in Lake City, Illinois. Word of Life Camp and Local Church Ministry had a huge impact on my life. It was at a campfire on Word Of Life Island at the age of seventeen that I committed to serve the Lord. In 1988, I attended the Bible Institute in NY and finished my degree at Liberty University. I have been involved with youth ministry for over over 22 years and feel privileged to serve and coach the local church leaders of eastern Virginia.
About Gretchen
Gretchen: I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior with my mother at the age of five. On a teen mission trip in 1987, I committed to do whatever God wanted me to do. Kevin and I met at Liberty University in 1990. We began to work together in youth ministry at a Bible Baptist Church in Appomattox, VA. After two years we became missionaries with Word of Life Local Church Ministries. God has blessed us with 3 children; Luke, Kara and Julia. I am currently the Admissions Director for Veritas School in Richmond.
I have a burden to to assist families in their faith journeys and see them grow in their walk with the Lord.
