Kathleen Faith Covert

What a great life! 

Wonderful parents, three diverse brothers, music, books, farm life… 

At age five I decided I didn’t want to go to hell so I knelt with my parents and asked Jesus to forgive my sins and be my savior. Of course, I remained a little rascal and it wasn’t until Bible school that I discovered the real meaning of following Jesus Christ. 

Still a bit of a rascal, I derailed and became a ski bum, then university presented a theatre opportunity in Europe. That opened doors. Contracts with the US Army chaplaincy took me all over Europe, four years, singing for troops and their families. Guitar, backpack, Eurail pass… that’s all I owned. What an amazing experience! These military heroes had endured the Vietnam War. They were weary and defeated. I could tell them about that friend who sticks closer than a brother, Jesus.  

Whatever the right or wrong through these years, I am grateful for each path. They led me to marriage with the best of men. Dean was US Airforce in Greece. I was a girl with a guitar. Go figure! And then came Deanna, a gift straight from Jesus! 

Adventures non-stop from there on! God knew and nurtured the gypsy in me. 

Missionary aviation 
30 years teaching in Bible colleges 
Arts outreach around the world 
Ice cream in many, many countries 
I’ve lived 100 years in 70. Good enough! 

Drayton, Aiden, Kayden, Emma, Parker, Nylah, you are my “grand” treasures. Thank you, moms, Sam and Lisa, for opening home and heart to me. Jesus said, “Let the little children come unto me.” Playing and learning and fighting and skiing with you grand nieces and nephews has surely given me joy—Jesus too! 

That’s all she wrote! 
Thank you, Jesus!
