Kerby Keller
Excerpt from Justice & Mercy's 2024 Spring newsletter:
“Who is Kerby Keller?”
“While in the Lancaster County Prison for the first time in my life I sat and really thought about my life. I had never been at peace or fulfilled in my life. Always seeking something that seemed to be missing. The Chaplain at the time, David Meyer, spoke with me several times. On one occasion shared the story of the prodigal son. I asked Chaplain Meyer to do a graveside memorial for Barbara with my family and my son, which he did.
I started taking some Bible study courses and soon realized there is a God and learned the Gospel plan of salvation. A friend sent me a Bible helps booklet on Jonah. In October 1989 I realized I was a Jonah and had been running from God for years. My whale’s belly was the prison cell. I fell on my knees that night in my cell crying out to God, confessing and repenting of every sin I could remember, asking Jesus to come into my life as my Lord and Savior. A guard passing by the cell would stop and ask if i was okay? The next morning I was a new man; old things passed away, and all things became new! I was never more light of heart and more sure of my purpose in life. The burden had been lifted from my shoulders.
After being sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole and a 5 to 10 year sentence for shooting at the neighbor’s truck I was sent to S.C.I. Dallas prison. It was here that I soon obtained a job in the prison wood shop learning the cabinet making trade and later teaching it to other men. Through this shop where I worked for 25 years I was able to share my talents by building items for several charities such as Bretheran Disaster Relief Auction, Support for Prison Ministry, Scranton Association for the blind, etc. Also I have taken classes from Luzerne County Community College eventually earning an associate degree in business administration and technology.
I am now filing an application to the Pennsylvania Board of Pardons to have my sentence commuted from life in prison to life on parole. I am humbly seeking your support in this pursuit by asking you to sign the Justice & Mercy Matthew 25:36 Project petition to the Pennsylvania Board of Pardons on my behalf. I sincerely “Thank you for your consideration and may the Lord be with you.”
