Kim Bell started trusting Jesus for her salvation when she was a teenager. Her love for teaching the Bible began shortly afterwards when she embarked on a theology degree at George Whitefield Bible College. Through student placement, she found herself teaching the Bible to toddlers and fell in love with littlies and with sharing God’s Word. It is fitting then that Kim now assists her husband, Rory, who runs TnT Ministries - an organisation that produces excellent Sunday School teaching materials both in print and online. Kim and Rory and their three children, Emma, Aidan and Nathan, live in the UK and are part of the Cornerstone Church family in Kingston Upon Thames.

SHOW SNIPPETS:

 

“I love the Bible and love children and thought why not focus on this (children’s work) as a career move?”

 

“I loved every aspect of it. I loved building relationships with the kids. I loved teaching them the Bible. I loved everything about it.”

 

“As we left, I said to Rory, wouldn’t it be fantastic if we could do this full time? … a number of years later, they took us out for a meal (and asked us to take over their ministry).”

 

“Within a week, all those obstacles were gone.”

 

“I was trying to hold it together, you can’t fall apart with three little kids.”

 

“If it wasn’t clear that the Lord had led  us here, I would definitely go home with you! … it was really hard!”
