Rich and Kathy both attended Asbury College, where Kathy earned a degree in secondary education and Spanish. Rich earned a degree in Bible before attending Asbury Theological Seminary to pursue a Master of Divinity and a Master of Theology degree in cross-cultural studies and world religions.

The Livelys have previously served overseas in theological education and JESUS Film training, and in the United States in pastoral ministry. Rich and Kathy, along with their three children, Richie, Danny, and Emma, now serve with Connect3e to help Karen refugees fleeing Myanmar (Burma). According to a BBC report, over 200,000 Karen people have been driven from their homes during decades of war, with another 120,000, mostly Karen, living in refugee camps along the Thai border. These refugees are in desperate need of medical care, food, and education, along with the love of Christ.

Ongoing responsibilities include lending oversight and assistance to the leadership of Connect3e, establishing strategic partnerships locally and internationally, and mentoring Karen and Thai leaders working with the various Connect3e projects. Connect3e oversees the operations of two children’s homes that house 75 children, monthly medical teams to remote regions, emergency aid for refugees, and educational support for Karen children.
