The Residents
Ellalyse Hayes
There truly is nothing like getting to come alongside kiddos and point them to the King of Kings! I'm passionate about seeing this young generation walking in true freedom and deep intimacy with Christ JESUS! Cultivating a real relationship with him! One that looks like disciples making disciples, like heaven invading the Earth!
Emily Young
I am excited about this residency because I know the Lord is up to something huge, as always! I’m excited to sit front row in more aspects of KLIFE, and see life change before my eyes. I feel blessed to work with this crew and I know each person will teach me something valuable. I can feel the Lord is stirring something new in me and I know I will be refined into a stronger vessel for The Kingdom!

Hi, I'm Luther Supancic, a senior at Southwest Baptist University! I have the opportunity to be a resident for KLIFE. I am excited to help spread Polk County KLIFE by starting small groups in the town of Pleasant Hope! I have had the privilege of witnessing how God used KLIFE in the town of Fair Play and I can’t wait to see what He does with our ministry next!
