Wendi is a native of California but transplanted to Salem in grade school and has called Salem home ever since.

On a stage or at a grocery store, Reid sees opportunities all around him to share hope with those who are hurting. Reid was born and raised in Petaluma, California. He enjoyed a loving family and popularity in school, but felt a void in his life. At 17 years of age, Reid surrendered himself to the Lord, a decision that changed the trajectory of his life. As a young Christ-follower, Reid recorded many of Billy Graham’s messages, marveling at the power of God’s Word to touch hearts and change lives. Reid preached his first evangelistic message at a festival in Petaluma, CA at the age of 22. He graduated from Western Baptist College (now Corban University) in 1998, and went on to Multnomah Biblical Seminary to earn a Masters of Divinity in 2002 and Doctorate in Global Evangelism in 2022.

This has carried over into her current involvement with Cherry City Worship, and being a worship leader at her home church. Aside from music, some of Yana’s greatest passions are watching cooking shows (especially Masterchef, and Chopped), solo dates to her favorite coffee shop, Broadway Coffeehouse, and spending time with her nieces, Eleanor and Alice. Yana adores her husband, Jimmy, and orange cat, Gary, more than anything. Even still above that, Yana loves the Lord, and cherishes her time spent with him the most.

Kellan has known God and loved Him all her life. She grew up talking to Him and He continually answered her – aka prayer. She was introduced to RSA and started praying for RSA during Salem RiverFest in 2007. One prayer meeting led to another and God opened a door for her to be hired as the staff accountant, with the added benefit of leading staff in prayer. This prayer ministry grew to creating prayer teams for outreaches and eventually weekly scheduled prayer times. She is no longer the staff accountant but now exclusively focuses her time on prayer for the organization. She views the prayer team as the “airforce” for the “ground troops” that go to the mission field.
Outside of RSA she is a wife, mother of three, grandmother of four, and lover of God. She loves God because He loves her and will never leave her, no matter what she does, says, or thinks. One of her favorite verses is Jesus telling her, “I have come so that you may have life, and have it to the full.” She believes Him and lives as fully as possible, which includes but is not limited to: engaging conversations with God, pickleball, grandkids, travel, going down rabbit holes in the enchanted forest, eating dessert for breakfast or having her dessert first when she goes out to eat, or any other adventure she can find.

He and his wife Darla are raising four amazing kids and following Jesus together as a family. In his spare time, Joshua enjoys anything outdoors (especially fishing) and staying active in men’s ministry events that encourage others to know and follow Jesus more deeply.
