Kevin Woods, Brenda Woods Hosted by Kairos Church Planting Support. Ministry that is easy and comes without problems, surprises, or heartburn may sound nice, but is just not realistic or possible! The genius of Jesus’ ministry is that He reveals that God uses suffering and pain to bring us to Himself and to our true selves. Kevin and Brenda Woods will share the beauty…and the terror…of effective ministry that is rooted in life-challenges that are both pain-filled and also deeply satisfying.
