KELLY ABRAM

Caring, Precise, Relational
Personal Mission Statement:
“Sophocles said that “wisdom outweighs any wealth,” and King Solomon wrote, “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.”  My mission in this ministry, both through instruction and relationship, is to point young people in the way of wisdom.  I pray that they might stand in awe of God and seek truth at its source, Christ Himself.  If I can help them do that, they will be wise, they will learn to walk in love, and they will gain all the wealth in the world as a result.”
