With over 50 years of combined ministry experience, they have served in numerous leadership roles and are both ordained ministers and commissioned apostolic leaders. Their mission and calling can be summed up by Isaiah 61:1, which highlights their dedication to spreading the gospel, helping people overcome addiction and spiritual strongholds, bringing hope to those facing trials, teaching from scripture to foster spiritual maturity in Christ, and prophetically guiding and releasing individuals into their Kingdom destiny.

One of their notable contributions to ministry has been their leadership with Global Teen Challenge internationally and Adult & Teen Challenge nationally, for 17 years (2005-2022). They have also been involved with Blood and Fire Ministries in Costa Rica, where Kelley established a women's trade and discipleship school to empower women seeking a transformative change in their lives.
