Kelly’s Story: How She Founded Living Perfectly Loved Ministries

Hi, there! My name is Kelly Ann Snyder. I can be accurately described as a wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, teacher, ministry leader, and author . . . and yet, not one of those titles adequately describes who I really am. I am first and foremost a disciple of Jesus Christ. 

While I have been a Christian most of my life, I confess, I struggled for years with anxiety and fear—not yet understanding how to fully trust God, how to let go of control, and how to rely on God’s perfect love.

Then, I learned something that changed everything . . . 

The Bible says in 1 John 4:18, “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.”  

The prescription for fear is—God’s perfect love! If God’s perfect love has the power to cast out all fear, that must mean, complete freedom from all fear is possible!

I know the torment, and debilitating pain that living in fear causes—emotionally, spiritually, and physically. However, I can now also say because of how the Lord has delivered me from fear—I know the peace, healing, and freedom that is found in knowing and relying on God’s unfailing, perfect love; and living in full surrender to His plans and purposes for my life!

This is why I founded Living Perfectly Loved Ministries! In 2016, God began stirring in me a passion for a ministry that would encourage, equip, and inspire people to live free from fear—in the perfect love of God. In 2020, in the midst of a worldwide pandemic, by the grace of God, Living Perfectly Loved Ministries finally took shape.

Today, Living Perfectly Loved Ministries is able to offer you the opportunity to:

While I am exceedingly blessed in many ways, I have also had my share of real pain and heartache. I have real weaknesses, daily struggles, and failures too! I am learning that only in community with others, and in the perfect love of Jesus, do I find purpose and the strength to persevere through the trials of this life. I pray that in sharing my faith journey here with you—and in offering various opportunities through Living Perfectly Loved Ministries—that you are encouraged, equipped, and inspired to persevere in your own faith journey with the Lord.
