As president and founder of Christian Women’s Coalition, and a powerful speaker and teacher, author Charlana Kelly’s passion is winning souls, making disciples, and raising up leaders to win nations for Christ.
She has been a guest on DayStar Radio, Look Up Orlando, and Family Today to discuss the plight of people in need and how a Christ-centered message has changed the lives of people who participate in CWC programs. Charlana has spoken at conferences, crusades, and churches around the world. There are no denominational walls where Charlana is concerned; her message is well received by many mainstream denominations and full Gospel churches alike.
Charlana is also the author of the books "In Search of the King's Court," "Reaching Out with a Message of Hope," and a Christ-centered educational program, "Tools for Triumphant Living," which is being taught in the prison system, county jail re-entry program, and in women's crisis centers and transitional homes in the US and other nations. In 2006, Charlana was nominated as a Woman to Watch for her contributions in making North Central Florida a better place to live and work.
Charlana and her husband of more than 20 years, Charles, reside in the heart of Central Florida. They are committed to one another and support the call of God on each other's life. Charlana is an ordained minister under the leadership of Pastors James and Debbie Watts of Watts Teaching Ministries and Grand View Church. She and Debbie launch a women's mentoring and discipleship ministry, Shoes on the Move in April 2010. Charles sits on the Board of CWC and both serve on the board of Renaissance Church under the leadership of Pastor James Wheeler in Clermont Florida.
Charlana has also been instrumental in pioneering work to establish programs and homes for women in transition. In 2002, by invitation of FL State Representative Dennis Baxley, Charlana sat on the steering committee that pioneered one of Florida's first transitional homes for women and their children, Shepherd's LightHouse in Belleview FL. She also sat on the board for that organization from 2002 through 2005.
