Kelly Nieto has a passion for mission.She has spent time in mission activities in Europe, India, Mexico, and North Africa. And this summer, Kelly and her husband, Michael, are headed to Mexico for a three-month international field education experience at a Presbyterian church an hour outside Cancun.
It is with great pleasure that the Network of Presbyterian Women in Leadership (NPWL) welcomes this missionally minded woman as our 2007 Lydia Scholar.
Kelly is a student at Princeton Theological Seminary and a graduate of University of California Berkeley, with a major in History. Before attending seminary, Kelly taught history and French at a Christian high school for five years. At UC Berkeley, she pursued leadership as the president of a Christian sorority. Many of her experiences with these Christian women shaped her sense of call and ministry today. Kelly says “I am especially excited about educating women in God’s Word and their place in God’s church.” As a missional woman of God, she hopes to use her education as a foundation for ministry inside and outside the church to encourage God’s people to “be salt and light to those who need to know more about the Savior’s love.”
Along with engaging in mission together, both Kelly and Michael are students at Princeton. When she returns in September, Kelly will be ministering at Long Valley Presbyterian Church in Long Valley, NJ. The Lydia Fund is a scholarship program for outstanding women with a personal and vibrant commitment to Jesus Christ who have experienced God’s call to become ordained pastors in the PC (USA) and who have a vision of spiritual renewal within the denomination. Administered by NPWL, under the umbrella of PFR, the Lydia Fund seeks to equip evangelical women for leadership in the church.
