Debriefer / Counselor

Kim Seville

Kim (M.A.BC) grew up in a wonderful military family, which meant her childhood was marked by moving to a new place every 3-4 years. She thinks that this sparked a love of travel and culture in her from a young age. Her parents faithfully read her the Bible and took her to church, and at the age of 14, the Gospel captivated her heart for the first time and she believed. Later, her faith was strengthened at James Madison University through her involvement with CRU, and her time at Dallas Theological Seminary (where she earned a degree in Biblical Counseling) was foundational in helping her develop in Biblical literacy and Theology. She is married to Jason and they have four daughters and 1 son. In 2014, their family moved from Memphis, TN to East Asia so that Jason could pastor a church in that part of the world.  They returned in 2020 and currently live in Alexandria, VA, where Jason pastors at Del Ray Baptist Church.  In her free time, Kim enjoys being outdoors, cooking, reading and laughing with friends.
