Shirley Killosky
Missionary

At a time in her life when most folks are retiring, Shirley is “still going strong!” Before going to Hauna Village in 1979 to work in literacy, she taught school in northwest Indiana, and holds a B.S. degree from Indiana University and a Master’s Degree from Valparaiso University in Valparaiso, Indiana.

Shirley founded the Hauna Schools where currently over 700 students are enrolled in elementary and high school. Current responsibilities of Field Director and Supervisor for CODE High School in Hauna occupy most of Shirley’s time. Since Hauna Village affiliated with Kids Alive International in 1992, the Sepik Christian Ministries National Board was formed and the ministry continues to expand to outer regions, opening new schools to teach children and adults who have never had the opportunity to read, write and hear the Gospel.

Mother of three grown children: James, Lisa and Donald, Shirley gladly serves the people of PNG. “I saw how much the people in the jungle needed assistance in all areas of life – both physical and spiritual. I think there is still much to do and many people still need to be reached.”
