Fresh Start

Kelimar Vallecillo Samot is the Outreach Coordinator at Bethel Church. She moved to Redding, CA, in 2017 to attend BSSM and has loved serving the city and church for 5+ years. Kelimar is passionate about seeing churches activated to love their neighbors, salvations, and discipleship. Through intentionally spending time with people in the community or serving alongside church members, her heart is to see people thrive to live out the word and who God created them to be.

Originally from Puerto Rico and raised in Florida, she was saved at sixteen through a friend in high school who invited her to church. Kelimar loves to spend time with her family and friends, travel, and, if she’s not cooking, she’s writing her next book.

Francois du Toit is originally from South Africa and is married to his beautiful wife, Aline, who is from Brazil. Together they have two wonderful children, Joy and Emma.

Francois served as a missionary with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) and Iris Global for over eight years in South Africa and Mozambique.

He carries a deep passion for the Great Commission and loves to see people inspired and equipped to live as bold witnesses for Jesus in their everyday lives.

Francois currently serves as Associate Evangelism Pastor in the Evangelism & Outreach Department.
