Frank and Kathy grew up in rural Kansas where both trusted Christ early in life. They met later at a Christian high school in Oklahoma, but started dating each other later in Bible college. They both were already committed to serving the Lord in missions full time when they married. They gained some valuable experience and also became acquainted with Tri-City Baptist while Frank served the next two years as associate pastor of New Hope Baptist Church. The Lord led them to Italy in a church planting ministry. Most Italians are Catholic in culture, though often without a true understanding of the Gospel. The Kings are ministering in the Venice Province in the northeastern Venetian Region, one of the most unreached sectors of Italy.
