About the Author
Kevin W. Oliver is a minister and author whose life and work revolve around a deep love for God, family, and storytelling. With a heart for discipleship and encouragement, Kevin brings a unique voice to his writing—one that is steady, heartfelt, and rooted in everyday faith.
Together with his wife, Karla, they serve as Mission Leader Coaches with Adventures in Missions, guiding and discipling the next generation of missionaries. Their shared passion for evangelism and spiritual renewal has taken them across the globe, from the streets of Chicago to the mountains of Guatemala, the islands of Puerto Rico, and beyond. Out of these experiences grew The Harmonyville Tales: The Adventures of Bear & Donkey—a collection of stories inspired by their journey of love, ministry, and the quiet beauty of ordinary life lived with God.
Kevin has a lifelong dedication to mentoring and discipling others. His writing reflects the same steady balance he lives out daily—practical wisdom, faith in action, and a love that endures through challenges.
At home, Kevin is a husband, friend, and storyteller who finds joy in the simple things: morning coffee, quiet walks, and laughter shared with loved ones. Through his books, he hopes readers will rediscover the richness of small moments, the strength of lasting love, and the presence of God woven through it all.
