Archer Nelson: Growing up in Minnesota Reed grew up
with Christian parents. They really laid the foundation
for his coming to Jesus at age 19. As Reed says, "I
came to an understanding that Jesus had paid the penalty
for my sin on the cross and that he had created me
with the purpose to love God and know God and go into
all the world and help others know Him and love Him
too." During his college days at the University
of Minnesota Reed began to listen to Christian Music
exclusively; those singers / songwriters that have
had the most influence on him are: Keith Green, Michael
Card, Steve Camp, Twila Paris, and Rich Mullins. After
attending the Urbana Mission conference Reed transferred
to University Wisconsin - EauClaire and it was there
that he was heavily involved with Campus Crusade for
Christ as a student and was discipled in his faith.
Reed and His wife Kelli after they were married both
sensed God calling them to full-time Christian work.
After considering Bible smuggling, Bible translation,
and overseas mission work; they went through Tentmakers
Youth Ministry Training and served as Youth Directors
for nine years in Watertown, South Dakota.
Reed has been on several Mission trip with youth to
Dominican Republic, Mexico (twice) and to Russia with
His wife on a Josh McDowell -- Mission to Russia Trip.
Reed is a business owner, singer / songwriter and
