Amazing True Life Journeys of Faith
Karen Welsh is a "Mama Kahu," or the pastor's wife at Haili Church, the oldest Hawaiian Church in East Hawaii, where she ministers with her husband of 29 years. Her greatest blessing has been the priviledge of raising three beautiful children. She is an award-winning columnist, writer, and editor with 25 years of experience in the field. She won second place in the 2002 Amy Writing Awards, taking her place among top writers in the industry. Among the judges were the late Dr. Carl Henry, founding editor of Christianity Today; Dr. Clifford Kelly, Director of Academics for Focus on the Family Institute and Sam Moore, President of Thomas Nelson Publishers. Besides writing for publications and ad agencies throughout the United States, Karen currently writes a popular weekly column entitled "Meet Me Midweek" for the Hawaii Tribune-Herald in Hilo. Despite battling a chronic health condition known as fibromyalgia, Karen is outgoing and fun-loving and gets a kick out of sharing her faith in unique ways, including stand up comedy and retreat speaking, where she teaches God's word and principles to women through improv and other theatrical techniques. Karen is also a professional photographer and enjoys snorkeling in her spare time.
