It’s exciting for Sally and me to have Terry and Donna Keith join us pioneering YWAM’s Mission Village. They bring with them over 10 years of experience serving in YWAM by leading outreach teams throughout Central America. Their knowledge of the Latin culture and language has been instrumental in leading and teaching in YWAM’s Discipleship Training schools in the Spanish language. Their pioneering experiences in Costa Rica will be welcome and useful to us here. Terry’s Emergency Medical training and Donna’s secretarial abilities are equally important to us. This couple is truly an encouragement to their fellow co-workers in YWAM. Every pioneering project needs a couple like this.

Sincerely; Floyd McClung
Director- YWAM Mission Village

Terry and Donna Keith have been on staff at YWAM All Nations, located in Trinidad, CO, since before I came here in 1996. Both of them have been a huge asset to the pioneering of this base. They have been involved in every aspect of the development of this work. They displayed the same consistency whether they worked at the barn, or cooked in the kitchen, or staffed a school or pastored the church that we planted together.

I have been here for 8 years and have watched the Keith’s one ambition happen, to pay off all their debts so that they could get back to Central America. They never waivered from their desire to get back to the nations they love. I would recommend them to any ministry. Their gifts are varied and mature. When pioneering, there is no one that I would want standing next to me more than Terry and Donna Keith. I commend them to you.

Sometimes in life you find someone that has a kindred spirit and you feel like brothers. That has been the case with Terry Keith. I have known Terry and Donna Keith since 1987. We’ve worked together, served the community together and had fun together. He is a true friend.

I would like to recommend Terry and Donna Keith as they make a career move to Costa Rica to serve in an internationally recognized organization -Youth With A Mission. I know that their work to change the lives of young people, build houses for the poor and provide leadership where needed, will be a tremendous blessing to the nation of Costa Rica and beyond.

As you may know Terry is fluent in Spanish, grew up in the Latin culture and takes with him several degrees and skills and including a hard working ethic. He and Donna will be a great asset to any endeavor they give themselves to.

I want to encourage you to give any and all assistance and support needed to make this move a good move for them.

Gratefully;

My wife, Vicki, and I are 1995 YWAM CDTS graduates having trained at the University of the Nations, Kona, HI. We first met the Keiths upon moving to the YWAM Trinidad, Colorado base in August of 1996. We have been closely associated with the Keiths as friends, YWAM associates, and most currently as leaders in our local fellowship known as All Nations Fellowship where Terry is serving as the head elder and pastor of the body. I am an elder with Terry.

We have observed the Keiths in raising their family, shared ministry work with them and come alongside during times of need. I have seen few adults/parents who have shown similar strength of faith in dealing with raising children or the rigors of missions’ work, both of which require a huge measure of faith. Terry and Donna are firm in their faith in all situations and Terry has shown a deep compassion for God's Word as he teaches, and both hold fast to a high Biblical moral standard and truly hear from and obey the Lord. We have seen Donna blossom since she and Terry stepped into pastoral roles in the church and I am blessed with Terry's resolve in building a coalition and rallying the spiritual leaders of the community to take on the sex-change operations in Trinidad.

The Keiths are solid spiritually and have come through many fires of life with their foundations intact. We bless them as they step forward into their lifelong ministry dreams. Please feel free to contact us for further input.

I have known Terry Keith for ten years. When he first moved to the Stonewall community he joined the Fire Department. Terry and I along with others went to school to become EMT’s and later he studied to become a Paramedic. He also became a certified firefighter. He has been the Assistant Fire Chief for the Stonewall Fire Protection District for over two years. I consider him very proficient in both Emergency Medicine and Fire Fighting. His depth of knowledge and experience will be missed when he moves away from this community.

I consider Terry to be a very honest person with keen intellect, good sound knowledge, and outstanding integrity. His drive and commitment to serving the community and his commitment to furthering the Lord’s work are to be admired. I consider him a friend, a trusted colleague, and a man who I would trust with my life. I enjoy his company, his grasp of life and his sense of humor. This is a man whom I would be glad to “ride the range with,” in the words of an old cowboy.
