The Kellys

Steve,

Welcome to the world of being in your thirties! There are so many good memories from being at CBC and seeing you and Christina fall in love to being youth pastors together in Ohio. It has been so fun to be at camps, retreats, and meetings together. Especially the New Years All-nighters! We have missed you guys being in our section but were so excited for you when God took you to the Network Office.

When we heard of Blake being diagnosed we were so broken for you and Christina. Broken because we couldn't imagine knowing that our sweet child was going to have to go through more pain and agony than what any parent would wish for their child. But with God's strength you rose above and praised God through it. WOW!

You are such a great friend and we know that we can rely on you for anything. The strength you have as a father is beyond words and the love you have for your wife is beautiful. But more than those is your love for Christ and your desire to have Him flowing in and out of all you put your hands to.

We hope that you have an incredible birthday and that the next thirty years will bring more blessings than one could ever imagine!

Love,

Mat, Kim, and Annalise
