Meet David and Maria

Hi, we are David & Maria Kelly, and we live in Marion, Indiana.  We have two sons, Tim and Michael.

Tim is our oldest son and is twenty-two years old.  He is a graduate of Indiana Wesleyan University with a degree in Christian Ministries, and is now working on his Master of Divinity. He’s getting married in July, 2025!

Michael is nineteen years old and attends Indiana Wesleyan University. We are very proud of him!

David is an ordained minister in the Wesleyan Church and works for Wellsprings of Freedom International as the leader of the Indiana Regional Training Hub.  He has a Bachelor’s degree in Biblical Studies.  Maria is a Salesforce Administrator at Indiana Wesleyan University National and Global.  She has a Bachelor’s degree in Business Information Systems.

We are disciples of Jesus Christ and members of College Wesleyan Church in Marion, IN.

God has done some amazing things in our lives and shown us mercy and grace beyond anything we could have ever imagined.  We have witnessed several miracles which have truly been life-changing.

Lamentations 3:21 (NLT) says, “Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this,” and goes on to say, “Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness” (Lamentations 3:22-23, NIV).

We are well acquainted with suffering, as you will see from our story. However, even in the midst of suffering, we can have hope. In our relationships with God, He is certainly the faithful one.  We are amazed by all that He has done for us and the ways in which He continues to teach us who He is.  Our goal in life is to truly love God and love others.  So, with that in mind, we are writing this story and felt that Lamentations 3:21 was a fitting title.

We pray that you, too, will grow in knowing God on a personal level and experience His great love so that when you go through difficult times, you’ll remember this and still dare to hope.

David & Maria
