After being attacked several times with cancer, twice in her throat, the Lord Jesus Christ has HEALED her each and every time. Doctors had even said that she may have to have a voice box because of the throat cancer, but God proved them wrong. She is preaching, teaching and singing, LOUDER than ever, to the Glory of God.
She has taken to heart God's Word: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set a liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord" (Luke 24:18-19).
Apostle Kelley is a retired computer programmer by profession and an LPN by vocation. She has been a volunteer leading the Prison Fellowship Bible Study at the Fluvanna Women's Correctional Center for twenty-two years and Albemarle Regional Jail for almost forty years. She has served as a Chaplain at the University Hospital and Piedmont House and a Lay Chaplain at the Fluvanna Women's Correctional Center. She has also carried the gospel into the Nursing Homes since 1976.
Definitely, Apostle Kelly will go when and wherever there is an opportunity to tell someone about the love of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Time after time, Apostle Sarah A. Kelley has found herself the first woman, the first African-American or the first African-American woman in work and ministry situations.
“I fight with that quite naturally,” the pastor and founder of Faith, Hope and Love Church of Deliverance said. “I was the first black chaplain in the chaplaincy program at the University of Virginia. “And being female? They had said that a female would never cross their pulpit, and here I come. You still just have to go where God tells you to go.” Her obedience has strengthened and sustained her throughout a 35-year career of ministering to “the misfits, the rejects and the outcasts,” she said. “I just looked forward to it, because I knew what it was like to be a misfit, a reject and an outcast.” Balancing employment as a computer programmer and licensed practical nurse with her ministry obligations opened up other opportunities to serve and help. And no matter where Kelley went, she never stopped believing that she’d have whatever she needed to get the job done. “He looks for that availability and gives you that ability,” Kelley said. “The Lord lets us know no weapon raised against us will prosper. He opens doors no man can close. I’ve never questioned him. All I’ve had to do is rely on him.” When times turned difficult, Kelley would pray “just to close doors you don’t want me to go through.” Church member Doreen Banks said it’s a pleasure to accompany Kelley on outreach visits. She said Kelley empowers her flock to visit nursing homes to sing and share fellowship with residents. “The love of God is in her. She feeds the homeless, physically and spiritually,” Banks said. “She’s there, physically and spiritually, for everyone.” |
