My name is Ralph Kelley. I am 22 years old. In Spring ’09 I will graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from the University of West Florida. I have lived in Milton, Florida my whole life. I have been in church since I was really young, but God’s amazing grace was never clear to me until I was miraculously brought through two surgeries to remove a malignant brain tumor. This all happened during my senior year in high school, and this has had the biggest impact on my life with Christ. After seeing God’s grace through through this hard time, I have constantly wanted to see more of His great love.
My parents were divorced and and both were remarried while I was in high school, but both are now in church. I have an older sister, an older step-brother, and a younger step-brother and step-sister. I am living with my mom and step-dad until I finish college. I try to stay very involved in the college group at the church I go to with my dad and step-mom. When I am not at church or school there are a few other things that I enjoy. Hunting is one of the things I have loved to do since I was a little kid. I am usually a very laid back person and hunting is very relaxing. The World Race is going to be a new experience for me because I have never been out of the country, but I am excited at this opportunity to share God’s love with people in other parts of the world.
