Kelly Nieto
 "My Holy Mess: The Path to Peace and Purpose"

-  Miss-American Runner Up & Talent Winner
-  Powerful Conversion Story & Life Changing Vision
-  Creator, Executive Producer of “Cross and Light”
-  Speaker, Humorist, Author, Scriptwriter, Musical Composer 


Kelly Nieto is one of those rare Catholic speakers who has the unique ability and talent to use the power of humor, wisdom, and God to touch people deeply and inspire at the same time, as she tells about her powerful conversion, deep prayer, and faith in action.

But Kelly’s faith in God was not always present. For 35 long years, Kelly wanted nothing to do with God. As she shares in her book “My Holy Mess”, she was an agnostic “New Ager” who shunned Christianity.  After college Kelly’s pageant success led her down a path to world travel and great money as a musical comedienne opening for legendary country acts like Garth Brooks, Charlie Daniels and The Judds.
 
Then Kelly married, had children, and was able to live in a gorgeous home that most would be envious of.   Life was perfect…or so it seemed.
 
On the outside Kelly had it all, but on the inside she was empty and miserable. The lack of peace and purpose she felt, sent Kelly down a spiraling path to depression that began to consume her entire life and well-being. It was in these darkest moments that Kelly found out her mother was going to die. She reached out to God in desperation, saying, “I don’t know who you are or what you are, but I will give you my life if you save her and show me the truth!”

And that’s when Kelly’s life changed forever… she kept her vow and gave her life to Christ.  The night before she became a Catholic, a life-changing vision inspired her to create “Cross and Light”, an epic Broadway-style Musical & Concert Experience of Christ’s Passion to Pentecost.  Its powerful evangelism engages people in the story of who Jesus is, what He did for us, and how He calls us to live.

No obstacle was too great for Kelly as she forged ahead and met challenge after challenge with faith and determination.  “In addition to raising my five children, this is my life’s mission. When you encounter Christ like this, you are never the same!”
