Send Ashley a text!Kristen Smith’s journey into ministry is anything but typical. She didn’t grow up in church, and neither she nor her husband were believers when they got married. But during a really difficult season in their marriage, everything changed. In a moment of complete surrender, Kristen cried out to God—and what followed was a powerful transformation in their lives, their marriage, and their faith.Just a few years later, they’ve stepped into ministry together, now serving in a small town in Kansas. What’s so encouraging about Kristen’s story is that she didn’t feel ready or equipped—she simply chose to be obedient.
