Growing up in a small town I always dreamed of exploring and writing about the world beyond my view. As soon as I could, I set out to do just that. What I discovered, though, was so much more than Great Walls and Taj Mahals, better than passport stamps or frequent flyer miles. I found that this very beautiful and very broken world is a magnificent backdrop to my King's saving work! I'm still discovering, still writing, still in awe of His grace and Gospel.

By way of introduction, I've often seen and heard a variety of spellings and pronunciations of my last name, but here's the one I prefer--Keesee, pronounced ka-ZEE. It's German in origin but being a 10th generation Virginian I'm probably more Virginian than German.

I'm married to Debbie and we are blessed with two married children and a grandson. I now serve as Founder of Frontline Missions International, writer and executive producer of the Dispatches from the Front film series, and I blog here at timkeesee.com.

I like to write from the road and from places where there are no roads--sharing stories of the people I meet and even where to find a good cup of coffee! Above all I love to write about the Gospel's transforming power and unstoppable advance as Christ continues to gather worshippers to Himself from "every tribe and language and people and nation." JOURNEY is a place to share these stories, connecting readers with the adventure of following Christ and the joy of finding treasure in unreached fields.
