Ken was born and raised in Taylorsville, North Carolina. Ken has been a board member twice, serving his second term at the moment. He is married to Anita and they have been to India with Gloal Hope India. They have three daughters and six grandchildren. He holds a Bachelor’s in Business from UNC and he and his wife worship at Mount Vernon Baptist Church. He and his wife are both Youth Sunday teachers and Ken is also a deacon there. He is also a CPA and managing partner with Stancil CPA and Advisors.
Back in 2017, Ken and his wife did a ministry trip in a predominantly Christian village in Northeast India, working with the church in the village and helping out with various ministries. They spoke and taught at the Sunday services, working during the week with the young people, with the ladies’ ministry and with the children and youth. There was even a day when other local pastors came in for some training, focusing mostly on discipleship ministries. Each day there was an experience with different teams, different groups to work with and each day they had a great time. They even had a friend, John, who conducted a medical clinic throughout the week during that time. Their other friend, Eva, helped in the teaching ministry and she was an artist. She painted some murals on the wall and also did other paintings, beautiful artworks that the villagers appreciated and were enthralled with.
The highlight of their week was working with the children. His wife has a lot of experience working with children and doing kind of like a Bible school type setting. The children really responded well to the stories and she would teach them crafts they would do together. At night, they had a more informal ministry with the children, teaching them Bible stories. At the end of the week, they had a community night where the children’s parents all came to watch the children perform creative skits for different Bible stories.
Their ministry with the children was a huge success for both the children and the parents and they were invited to come back again, for a whole week sometimes. They had been talking about it and wanting to do it again but that was when COVID happened. But even that will not deter them. It might not be this year or the next but they plan to going to India again as soon as they can. Because the experience they had during their trip to India was wonderful and they truly felt that God is telling them to do it again, to go to India and help spread the word of God’s love and Jesus Christ to the children and their parents.
