Kim Rea
Kim is our Care & Comfort Coordinator. She provides delicious meals and an inviting atmosphere at all of our 61A retreats. She is married to Kevin, has two grown children, and two grandchildren. She connects with the Lord especially through her love of nature and all living things whether that be gardening, hiking, camping, or caring for creatures. She has nursed squirrels and opossums, and has had pet rats, snakes, cats, and dogs. Beauty for Ashes and subsequent retreats have had a significant impact on her continually deepening walk with the Lord and the growing understanding of who she is in Christ, resulting in a beautiful heart connection that she did not have in her younger adult life.

Return and Rest
Isaiah 30:15 reads: In returning and rest, you will be saved. In quietness and trust you will find strength. Digging into scripture by looking at the original Hebrew can bring deeper understanding to a verse. The English language causes us to miss much of what the writer actually intended.
