More About Us:
Kelly Minter is passionate about women coming to know Jesus Christ through the pages of Scripture. Encouraging women along this journey, Kelly speaks, writes and sings throughout the United States and overseas. Her roots as the oldest of four and as a pastor’s daughter, Kelly has had a love for Scripture ever since she was a child.
Coming August 1, 2014, Kelly will release her first memoir entitled Wherever The River Runs: How a Forgotten People Renewed My Hope In The Gospel. Her fourth Bible study curriculum, What Love Is: The Letters of 1, 2, 3 John will follow in November 2014. This study is the most recent addition to the Living Room Series and her second to include video teaching sessions as well as written material. Acclaimed Bible Teacher Beth Moore has chosen to facilitate each of Kelly’s previous study titles, “No Other Gods,” “Ruth: Loss, Love and Legacy,” and “Nehemiah: A Heart That Can Break” as her Summer Bible Study for her online community.
In addition to writing, Kelly has recorded several albums. Her most recent record, “Loss, Love & Legacy” is a collection of songs based on the themes from the book of Ruth. This record follows up “Finer Day,” which is Kelly’s first worship record for KingWay Music.
Kelly resides in Nashville, TN and particularly enjoys spending her free time with friends and family or in the large garden she has planted in her backyard. She treasures cooking and community around the table, both at home and abroad.
Michelle Margiotta is a worship leader, singer-songwriter and composer who has dedicated her life to ministering to the church of Jesus Christ, as well as to nonbelievers. Her songs express the struggles, adventures, and expectations of what awaits us as we walk with Christ through life’s journey. She has ministered in various churches, conferences, and venues across the United States as well as abroad. Her heart pursues after the heart of God with the purpose of releasing the love He has for all people through song. She has a resolve for missions and a desire to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. “Although I am still learning, I am just beginning to realize what true worship is. Growing up in the church I associated worship solely with singing and music. However, I believe that true worship goes much deeper. It is a faithful devotion, a lifestyle of obedience, and a relationship of adoration toward God.” Michelle has served as a worship leader and assistant music director at Times Square Church in New York City and is currently on the road with acclaimed vocalist Kathy Troccoli.
Justice and Mercy International Justice and Mercy International (JMI) is a faith-based, non-profit organization that exists to make justice personal for the poor, the orphaned and the forgotten of the world. “When did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison, and did not help you?” Matthew 25:37-39
These simple acts of kindness are the timeless standards by which we are measured. Do we love others to the exact same degree that we love ourselves? Are we fulfilling the intent of God’s design for our lives: “to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?” (Isaiah 58:6) Will we be able to say at the end of today as well as the end of our days that we spent ourselves on behalf of the hungry and satisfied their needs?
To the extent our resources allow, JMI is an organization that is invested in seeing God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
