Kayse and her husband, Joseph, have been happily married since September 11, 2004 and live in Stockbridge.

He had his first double lung transplant at the age of 31 in October 2009. A little over seven years later, after experiencing sudden organ rejection, he had a SECOND double lung transplant in March 2017. He is a living, breathing, walking miracle and truly a testament of God’s power at work!

John was born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1974. As a teenager, he went to Stockbridge Assembly of God church and was very involved in the youth ministry. John thanks God that he had great youth pastors, as it impacted his life in a major way. So much so that he decided to pursue the ministry and work with youth.

For ministry training, John attended Master‘s Commission in Phoenix, Arizona. Following his training, he spent the the next 10 years working on staff at Rescue Atlanta Inner City Ministry, working with youth and children living in the housing projects of Atlanta. Following Rescue Atlanta, John worked with Soldiers for the Cross Youth Ministries, doing weekly outreach in Atlanta.

John has been on staff at Camp Bridgeway for many years as the Camp Activities Director, or as we like to call it, the “Camp Carburetor.”

Over the last 11 years, John has also teamed up with Fathers House International to do local youth ministry and feeding programs. He’s also been involved in serving an international ministry in Guatemala City, Guatemala.

“God has been amazing in my life over the years. He has opened a lot of doors for me to do ministry and it has definitely impacted my life.”
