Kelly loves meeting new people and connecting with others, especially over a coffee! She enjoys using her passion for creative writing and the performing arts to draw others closer to the Father-heart of God. Kelly is from New Zealand and currently resides in the Kingdom of Tonga where she teaches at a faith-based school.

YMI (which stands for Why Am I?), is a platform for Christian young people all over the world to ask questions about life and discover their true purpose. We are a community with different talents but the same desire to make sense of God’s life-changing word in our everyday lives.
YMI is a part of Our Daily Bread Ministries.
