Kenny Rice was born in Compton, California in 1950. He dropped out of school in the 10th grade and began a 20 year spree of violence, crime and drugs which included a 15 year prison sentence. Kenny’s life drastically changed in 1985 when he heard about Set Free Christian Fellowship. It was there that Kenny surrendered his life to the Lord Jesus Christ and began Discipleship Training. Kenny was ordained by Set Free in 1992 and went into full time ministry. He was then sent to Washington State to establish a Set Free Church. In 1998 Kenny partnered with the Northwest Baptist Convention and the Puget Sound Baptist Association and for the next 7 years planted 5 more churches which formed Set Free – Pacific Northwest. In July 2005, God began to speak to Kenny about a new work in Georgia. God confirmed this calling in many ways in the months following. In November 2005 Kenny, his lovely wife Judy along with their son, Michael moved to Dahlonega, Georgia.
