Angelia Waite, d.Min.
Angelia Waite is an ordained minister holding a Doctor of Ministry from The King’s University in Dallas, Texas. She is passionate about providing an arena for theological teaching. She focuses on those whose spirits demand deep, factual answers, and her passion and drive for deeper understanding of the things of God is contagious. She is truly a hope-giver and has a huge heart for helping people through the unexpected challenges of life.
Angelia is a wife, mom, speaker, author, theologian, and Bible literacy advocate. She has been happily married for over 40 years to her high school sweetheart, Dr. Jay, a veterinarian in private practice. They have three sons: Benji (Mitra), Chandler, and Ramsey.
Ramsey, Jay and Angelia's youngest son, drowned in May 2000 in their backyard pool at the age of three-and-a-half. In this darkest hour Jay and Angelia’s theological foundations were revisited and cemented. This led Angelia to found Ramsey’s Rescue, a non-profit organization, in her son’s honor. Ramsey’s Rescue targets the physical and spiritual care of little ones who have been abandoned. It is the goal of this ministry to provide food, clothing, education, medical, a safe, and loving home, and hope.
Proceeds from her first book, bomb Pops,® blow Dryers, & butterfly Kisses, detailing the horrific drowning incident and the journey toward healing that followed, is dedicated to all the hungry tummies, tearful eyes, and broken lives of little ones as a result of abandonment.. The primary funding for Ramsey’s Rescue is from book sales and speaking engagements.
