David B. Kellogg

David Bennard Kellogg was born in Chicago Ill on March 24, 1927 to parents, Ralph and Edna Kellogg. He grew up in Wenatchee WA where he began High School and later completed it while attending Chicago Evangelistic Institute in Illinois. Later, he attended Cascade College in Portland OR , where he met his future wife, Helen Slater. They married in 1949, and he graduated from Cascade College in 1950. For a short time he pastored a three point charge in North Dakota with the Methodist Church, but his heart was pulled toward ministry in a foreign country. In 1952, David and Helen began their missionary career with World Gospel Mission in Kenya East Africa. In the early days of missionary service there, David directed the building and planting of churches, and also managed the building of the Cheptenye Secondary School. During the middle to late years of service there, David established and managed Christian Book Stores in both Kericho and Nakuru. These stores provided Bibles, school-books and other reading materials for the Nationals. In 1973, David and Helen returned to the United States to remain permanently. For a short time David owned Kellogg's Fine Arts in Tigard, OR. But, once again World Gospel Mission needed his help, this time serving as Vice President of Business and Management, in Marion Indiana. Because he excelled in the world of finance, he successfully enabled World Gospel Mission to financially thrive. In 1992 David retired from World Gospel Mission and returned to his childhood home of Wenatchee. There, he enjoyed his rose garden and shared bouquets of roses with neighbors, friends and family. He and Helen were leaders of a "Life Group" in their home and through that ministry lead several people to Christ. Because of his love for missions, it was natural that he begin the Mission program at Wenatchee Free Methodist Church where they attended. He constantly gave his personal witness of Christ's redeeming work in his life to others, and was a true inspiration to all of us! David is survived by : wife, Helen Kellogg son, Stephen Kellogg and Christal Kellogg Daughter, Rebecca (St. John) Bassett and Gerald Bassett Son, Paul Kellogg and Lisa Kellogg. Grand children: Jacob, Wesley and Jesse St. John, Jonathan and Jordan Kellogg. Great-grand Children: Kaia , Silas, Isabella , Clover and Seth St. John A Celebration of David's life will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 3, 2016 at the Wenatchee Free Methodist Church; 1601 5th Street in Wenatchee, with a reception to follow at the church.
