Kevin Murphy grew up in Baton Rouge and graduated from LSU in 1982. In early 1986, he began earnestly seeking the Lord, knowing there was much more to this life than he was experiencing and that the path he was on was not the right one. God put several Christian people in his life that ministered to him and loved him. He accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior in 1986. Kevin married Sylvia (who was one of those people) in 1987 and they have two beautiful children, Kayla and Grant, who are both serving the Lord. They have been blessed to be members of FNT and serve under Pastor Shipp and this great body for over 20 years.
