Ken Simmons Today
Testimonials
Ken’s schizophrenia is now controlled by
medication, and he is one of the most active and dedicated Faith In Action
volunteers in North Dakota. In 2006 he drove more miles for Faith In Action
than any other volunteer in the state. Ken is too modest to let us put this on
his website if we didn’t insist – but we did insist! Undoubtedly, dozens
of people would write glowing tributes to Ken, but here are two…

Ken is one of the most generous persons I
have ever known. He truly has a servant’s heart and seeks ways to show
Christian love to others whenever and wherever he can. He is so gifted in many
areas and doesn’t hold back in sharing his gifts with others. I’m sure Ken
doesn’t realize the powerful impact he has had on so many people’s lives as he
shares an encouraging word or a kind deed. Thank you, Ken, for being such a
wonderful example to others!

I met Ken though Faith In Action, in
which I’ve been involved both as a volunteer and recipient. When I’ve asked
Faith In Action for help, it usually has appeared in the form of Ken Simmons.
For example, last year I was sick and snowed in by a major blizzard. As soon as
the interstate highway was open, Ken brought my medicine – across the highway
right of way, over a barbed wire fence, and through eight-foot snowdrifts with
the consistency of quicksand. When people need help, Ken is there, and nothing
can stop him. Ken was once a Marine, and his life again exemplifies the motto
of the Marines: “Semper Fidelis” – “Always Faithful.”
