I'm about as real as they come. I often misspell my name when I'm typing, all of my sweatshirts endorse my college football team, I wear high heels to the grocery store, and I've been known in a pinch to serve fruit rollups for breakfast to my three children. (They're ages 5 and under – they'll survive!) Yet as a woman of God, the cause of Christ grips my soul and is the driving force in how I choose to fill my days. I close my eyes and see the millions of forgotten faces, forgotten by man but never by God, who desperately need to drink of the Living Water of Jesus, and somehow I will be a part of getting the good news to their ears. No one can paint a picture like God, and when I read Revelation 7:9, my eyes fill with tears as I catch a glimpse of every tribe, every tongue, every nation worshipping in white before God's throne. I want to look around and see faces I recognize because I chose to live my days to "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness" (Matt. 6:33). So until that day in eternity, I'm following Jesus and joyfully loving my babies (usually with fruits and vegetables!), cleaving to my husband, studying and teaching God's Word, boldly pleading with Christian women to love the Lord fervently and love the lost enough to embrace holiness and talk about Jesus, recording on paper whatever wisdom or wit God would flow through my pen, and counting the days until my next mission trip. What a joy to serve Jesus! And what an honor to minister to the women of God. I will prayerfully look forward to seeing you soon at an upcoming event, my sister in Christ! May you go forth today with a kingdom heart.

What people are saying

"Anointed, gifted, biblically sound, professional, captivating, inspirational, engaging, and challenging' are but a few of the words that depict Kimberly Sowell's ministry as a Christian speaker. However, I think the most descriptive adjective is 'real'. Her passion to share God's Word and walk hand-in-hand with women straight to the cross of Christ motivates her life and her ministry. She is simply the best of the best because her heart matches her words."
-- Joy Clary Brown, Author, Speaker, and Co-Founder of Diversified Ministries, North Carolina

"We were so inspired by Kimberly's messages! Change is taking place in our lives and we are ministering to those outside our church and reaching the world individually and corporately. It has been amazing to have so many ladies come to me with a new and innovative idea to reach out to others and share God. Kimberly was exciting and entertaining, but most importantly she shared the truth about our purpose as Christians! Having Kimberly come and share was such a blessing to each of us."
-- Mary Ellen Wirkus, Women's Ministry Team Leader, ChristWay Community Church, Ooltewah, Tennessee

"Kimberly is one of those rare speakers who speaks out of the passion of her heart while not being afraid to admit her own shortcomings. She challenges others with her life, her story, and her passion."
