About The Authors
The Kaynors have been married for 53 years. They are the parents of two adult sons and have eight grandchildren. Marilyn has been a pastor’s wife and has taught women’s Bible studies for most of her adult life. They became MemberCare missionaries with Action International Ministries (headquartered in the greater Seattle, Washington area) in 2000.
Through numerous international trips along with connections through Whatsapp phone calls, snail-mail, emails, and facebook messenger, they have come alongside Action missionaries to listen, encourage, learn, serve and speak. They have also made annual trips to Cuba to teach the Bible.
Both have active lives with the Lord Jesus Christ, enjoying nourishment from the Book and His presence. At their local church, they team-teach an adult class for young marrieds and serve on the missions team.
At Keith’s urging, Marilyn took her notes on the lives of Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, Leah, Ruth and Esther and compiled them into her book, Women of Faith. She has adapted these studies for this website and will be continuing to write new articles.
Keith has written several books, heavily salted with Bible biography, a passion for which was ignited by his-father-in-law.
