Mary Ann Kuechler: Mary Ann experienced her own grief when she became a widow in May of 1979.  Within a short two year period this was followed by the death of several others close to her.  Enabled to empathize with their needs, Mary Ann ministered to widows in various capacities.  However, she never saw this as a "bona fide ministry" until joining Missionary TECH Team in November of 1990.  "Missionary TECH Team provided the opportunity for research and ministry, " says Mary Ann.  She taught her first Wisdom for Widows seminar in May of 1991.  Resources available for ordering are as follows:
