Whether ministering in mountainous wilds alongside the Shuswap peoples, planting an inner city church in Thunder Bay, constructing a prayer tower as a thin space for encountering God, instructing undergrads as faculty at Columbia Bible College, shepherding adults in a California megachurch, or serving underserved populations in downtown Boston, the song of Kimberley's life has been the unfailing love of Jesus. Her learning edge right now is discovering how to attend with reverence to the other— and in so doing encounter the living God. A word from Frances Young has recently left a sliver in her brain: "transformation is not through miracles but the recognition of God's love and power in mutual need."

And, a scripture that she hopes will be renewed in our day is this: "For a long time I have kept silent, I have been quiet and held myself back. But now, like a woman in childbirth, I cry out, I gasp and pant . . . I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I do and I do not forsake them" (Is. 42:14,16).

Kimberley's life partner is Bill — her high school sweetheart and greatest tangible evidence that God really loves her. Together they have been blessed with 4 biological children. God has added many other sons and daughters along the way.

Kimberley received her Doctor of Intercultural Studies and MA in Global Leadership from Fuller Theological Seminary. She hopes to complete her Ph.D. in InterCultural Education at Biola University in 2024.
