KEVIN'S BIO
Kevin has served with the Pastors In Prayer Ministry over 25 years beginning as the treasurer and volunteer to assist Pastor Bob with daily operations of the ministry. Along with Bob's encouragement and support, in 2016 the Board asked Kevin to take more of an active role meeting pastors and church leaders in the Northeast Indiana with a part-time position. In the summer of 2018 Kevin assumed the full-time role of leading the ministry while Pastor Bob now "volunteers" to give support and prayer to the ministry.
In July of 2023 Kevin received a Sabbatical from the PIP board for the remaining of the year to take care of his wife with her diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer. After going part-time for the first half of 2024, Kevin was given another Sabbatical to support Cindy in her final battle against the cancer. On September 21, Cindy's battle was over. The Lord welcomed His servant home. She fought the good fight and kept the faith.
Cindy's journey is on (Caring Bridge). Also, you can read "A Tribute to Cindy" by clicking the link that was written by Johnny Mac and there is a link to her Celebration of Life service from The Chapel of Fort Wayne.
Kevin has turned the Executive Director's reigns over to Johnny McCallister and is supporting Johnny and the ministry as coach/mentor to pastors.
