Meet Our Team
Missionaries
Andrew Kerin
President
My life changed when I saw pictures of the broken bodies of aborted babies my junior year of college. Rather than feeling called to the fight, I felt summoned. After completing my BA in Criminal Justice from Washington State University, I interned at Created Equal, an anti-abortion agency in Ohio, to learn the skills I needed to lead a team back home. It was through that vision that Tiny Heartbeat Ministries was born. In my free time, I love singing to Jesus, fighting in Martial Arts, and eating homemade food.

Lucas Blevins
Vice President
While in the midst of my studies at Washington State University, I felt an undeniable conviction in my heart to stand up for the unborn. So, I dropped out of school, quit my job, and began support raising to be a missionary. Half a year later and I was serving full-time on staff at Tiny Heartbeat Ministries as the Director of Outreach. It's our calling as Christians to end this genocide and my job to lead the men and women on the front lines of the fight. In my off time, I enjoy writing music, playing board games with friends, and eating a great steak (rare of course).

Steven McLain
Director of Training
Soon after my introduction to THM, I began volunteering on outreaches and saw firsthand the impact they have. This reinforced my passion to be used by God in changing the minds and hearts of those who hate God and those who have accepted the killing of the innocent through abortion. God gave me a mind that loves logic and the truth of the Bible, a heart for the unborn and unsaved, and a will to unabashedly share the Gospel. While I truly love discussion and debate, I also enjoy board games, puzzles, disc golfing, climbing, and the company of friends and family.

Gaven Taylor
Outreach Coordinator
God used a family member considering aborting her daughter to awaken me to the reality of abortion. Through preserving that young girl, I grew zealous for defending the life of pre-born children. They are a blessing from God and those who seek to kill them need more than just education and knowledge. They need salvation through Jesus Christ. I believe I've been called by our Lord to be a vessel for both His word and the truth of abortion and for Christ's sake I will obey.

Tiana Kerin
Development
As an engineering student at University of Idaho, I stepped into a leadership position at our Students for Life club during summer, 2020. Since then, we met and joined THM in efforts to save babies and souls. I believe that Jesus loves these children – unborn and born – and I hope to love them too by sharing the Gospel and standing up for the truth. When I’m not working or studying, I enjoy hiking, reading, and singing Psalms and Hymns with my friends.
Keegan Milsten
IT Specialist
Living only 11 minutes from the nearest abortion center, I felt compelled to get involved with Tiny Heartbeat Ministries when it began and now maintain their technical infrastructure. I am passionate about winning back my generation for the Lord and advancing a Biblical worldview. When not on outreaches with THM, I enjoy writing novels, coding, and advocating for Israel.

Tim Kirkland
Board Member
For the better part of 20 years I have worked in mortgage banking, and before that taught university English classes. For as long as I can remember knowing about abortion, I have known that it is a great wrong. I pray that the hearts and minds of people everywhere will be turned to Jesus Christ and that the scourge of abortion will be removed. God has blessed my wife and me with four children and five grandchildren, and I love spending time with them. I also enjoy foreign travel, board games, racquet sports, socializing with friends, and hiking.
Paul Beck
Board Member
I have been a builder for over 30 years. Building communities and building citizens for God’s community. “Teaching the next generation the praises of the Lord and his mighty works, so they can arise and teach the next generation, so the children yet to be born will put their trust in God“. I continue to serve in ministries as God opens doors to be a tool for the building up of His spiritual house.
Matt Yourek
Secretary
I am a Civil Engineering PhD student at Washington State University. While at WSU, I first saw the need for showing students the horrors of abortion; the greatest injustice of our generation. I believe the most effective way to combat abortion is through proclaiming the truth of God’s Word which provides the basis for believing all life is valuable and worth protecting. I am an active member of my church and participate regularly in evangelistic and pro-life outreaches.
