Interview– Kristen Guy: Sailing in Indonesia as a Family

Written By Ellen Bennett
 

Kristen exudes warmth, thoughtfulness, and a love of adventure - the latter is mandatory since she will soon be sailing around Indonesia with her husband and teenage children. Kristen is anchored in the love of Christ, and she shares extraordinary stories which include some keen losses in childhood, dealing with depression, and developing a love of helping teens through her work with the Christian organization Young Life. Her story is authentic and reassuring; she is an ordinary person whom Jesus is making EXTRAordinary.

The quote Ellen reads is from Recovering from Losses in Life by H. Norman Wright.
