Vanessa Kehl tells us a very brave story about a difficult time in her youth that affected her for a very long time. Vanessa has been married to her husband, Andy, for 39 years. They have a daughter, Rachel. She is an accountant for a wheelchair company.

At 17 years of age, Vanessa found out she was pregnant. Her circumstances caused her a great deal of fear, and she secretly chose toend that pregnancy. This decision would haunt her for the next 20 years.

After high school, she joined a community theatre group that was performing "Godspell." Because of the story of that musical and the other Christians in the company, she came to know the real Jesus! This was life changing!

She met her husband soon after that and they spent many years serving together in the Baptist Children's Home. Vanessa has experienced the freedom of God's forgiveness and she has learned how to finally forgive herself and find peace and redemption in Christ. She has also volunteered at the Hope Pregnancy Center and helped others going through circumstances similar to her own teenage experiences.
