Kathleen Ingerson, grandmother of three, mother of five, bachelor of science nurse, holds audiences spell-bound with her inspirational passion for Christ and His Word. Raised on a dairy farm in Michigan, she drove her father’s tractor, pulling the hay bailer, from age five, while he stacked the square bales. Since she was not strong enough to turn the tractor around at the end of each row, no matter how nervous she became when approaching the end of the hayfield, her father never failed to come forward, over the tractor tongue connecting the trailer to bailer to tractor, arriving just in time to reach over her shoulders and turn the tractor around to start bailing the next row. “My earthly father’s model of faithfulness taught me to trust my Heavenly Father who likewise arrives just in time—to glorfy Himself.” Kathleen has served as nurse on short-term missions teams to the Philippines and routinely hosts worldwide missionaries providing comfortable lodging and delicious meals.Despite innumerable medical challenges Kathleen inspires others with genuine hospitality and grace. She, and husband David, enjoy hosting the Christians in Action Missions International missionaries, as well as their children and grandchildren, making their home in Fresno, California.
