Kristy McConnell-
I was born in San Jose California around the San Francisco Bay area, went to school and didn't start singing till I was (15). Being a dancer and in pageants, I went through so many periods of trying to fit into a certain mold when I ended up in LA signing a recording contract. I thought I had arrived when I found out that one of the unwritten duties in my contract was sleeping with my producer, which I’m proud to say I didn’t. However, being raped at the tender age of (15) and again at (20) having two abortions was nothing compared to the vipers I encountered in the entertainment industry. Disillusioned, confused, and hurt, I fled to the safety of my family to finish school before moving to Kansas City, when the Lord told me to. Basically, I had one friend there I had dated, and chose to live with him. I now know that it was a stepping stone to the other things God had in store for me. My brother had moved to Branson, Mo., and was working as a dancer in some of the big shows. Kansas City isn't very far from Branson. It also would fulfill God’s promise that He would be moving the rest of my family to Kansas City as well, which He eventually did! I must admit that the sadness of loss and moving, conquered my resolve to serve God, and I delved into the sorted world of drugs, sex, and rock and roll! I wish I could say that these things never happed to me, and that I never went back to them once I was delivered the first time, but that’s unfortunately not true. The truth is that I struggled more times than I care to remember, but God used that to get more glory out of my life when I finally gave my will over to Him once and for all. I had to make the choice to allow myself to be freed of everything that was binding me up both physically and emotionally. That's what free will is...You must choose. I feel I am totally ready to do what God has always required of me. He has given me many gifts that I was too scared to pour out to the world till I became a part of "Tri-Lakes Church" in Branson, and began singing on the "Praise and Worship Team". Through worship...God heals all things, but you must let Him. Let go and Let God! Tri-Lakes Church is where the Lord sent Michael O’Hara to give me further opportunity to serve our Lord in "Isle of Dreams". All of this,…the sharing of my testimony on the world wide web, is another example of me being obedient and totally free in Christ, and I am a much better wife, mother, friend and evangelist because of all that God has allowed me to learn, experience, go through, and survive! For greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world. I can do all things through God which strengthens me.
