Testimony

Keith accepted Christ at age 6.  “Give my parents a lot of credit; they modeled the behavior they talked about,” Salscheider said.  “Because of that, when I left home, my faith was my own.  It was never something my parents forced us into.  We just saw them live it everyday.”

Family

He and wife Colleen were married last Sept. 24.
