Jesse Birkey lives in Florida with his wife Kara and their two children. He grew up in the church, as his father was a pastor for 20 years. He has worked as a firefighter/paramedic since 2003. He lived a very lukewarm life until God radically intervened. Jesse came to the revelation that he needed a relationship with God and not a religion. He made a choice to die to himself, sacrificing his own selfish desires, and learned to walk in obedience to God. Jesse is an experinced conference speaker and prayer minister with Operation Light Force. He and Kara continue to minister as the Lord leads.
