About Ken

Ken has been blessed with a beautiful wife, Debbie, two beautiful children, and eight beautiful grandchildren.  He has a passion for his ministry and he’s had an enormous amount of opportunities to do what he loves most, lead people to Christ.  All of this being said, it’s important to note, Ken’s life has not always been this way.

The son of an alcoholic mother and an absentee father, Ken’s life was filled with abuse and neglect.  Often times he and his sister would be left for days while his mother satisfied her addiction to alcohol and possible other drugs.  Other times she’d leave them with a boyfriend who would physically and sexually abuse them.  There were times he thought about suicide.  Other times he thought about murder.  His life seemed out of control.  Ken spent his life running, trying to survive.  He was bitter, hurt, and alone.

Despite a horrifying childhood, Ken defied all odds with one choice that would change his life forever, his decision to accept Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior.  With that one choice Ken’s years of mental and physical abuse turned from a useless mess, to a powerful message.

God has blessed Ken as he has been in the ministry for over 30 years, serving as a youth leader for about 12 years  , and an evangelist for well over 25 years.   He has seen over 200,000 decisions for Christ, one of which was his own father, been in over 3000 churches, written two books, and built a ministry around this one choice to accept Christ.

Ken has traveled throughout the United States and into Canada to tell people about the Living God who has the power to transform lives.  He speaks at churches, revivals, conventions, conferences, and retreats of all kinds.  He even speaks in public schools, encouraging students not to give into peer pressure and to live a life that makes a difference.  One principal commented, “Our kids have never behaved so well during an assembly.  They had a good time, but when he got down to it, you could have heard a pin drop.”

Ken’s approach to evangelism allows him to grab the attention of his audience through humor and his down to earth personality.  His message, then, is always delivered in a fresh, easy to understand manner that roots itself in God’s word.  Ken’s ability to be versatile allows him to communicate well in any setting, traditional or contemporary, school auditorium or church staff meeting, a large convention or an intimate retreat.

One thing is certain; God has given Ken a passion for the lost and the brokenhearted that is evident within his ministry and his everyday life.

Ken travels the country to tell people about the love of Jesus and about how they can come to know Him, and then how they can get to know Him better.  It’s his passion.  Despite your event, God’s given Ken the ability to adapt well to people of different backgrounds, age groups, and circumstances.  He’s willing to speak in virtually any setting in order to share his passion with others.
