Eden Keefe — Newly Appointed LWML Vice President of Gospel Outreach
Eden Keefe, Overland Park, Kansas, has been approved by the LWML Board of Directors (BOD) and will serve as Vice President of Gospel Outreach until the 2021 LWML convention in Lexington, Kentucky. She is filling out the term of Angelina Jauregui who has regretfully resigned due to family and health concerns.
Eden has served on the national level as LWML Vice President of Christian Life from 2013-2017, as Leader Development Committee Chairman, and as a member of the Christian Resources Editors and HOPE Committees. She recently worked on the Official Publications Staff as Christian Living Editor, has also served on the group, zone, and district level in the Kansas district and as the LWML Carolinas District Recording Secretary.
“Eden will bring experience and stability to the Gospel Outreach Department. We welcome her and thank God for her willingness to serve,” President Debbie Larson said.
Eden is married to Brad. They celebrated their 35th anniversary last November and have two grown children: a married daughter and a son, and one adorable grandson.
