Bob Kraning has spent much of his life in full-time Christian ministry. For many years he
was executive director of Forest Home Christian Conference Center in Southern California and
later a pastor at First Evangelical Free Church in Fullerton.
Bob is exceptionally gifted in leadership and in recent years has used his experience to
assist churches in transition. Successful and busy in this role, Cannon Beach has been privileged
to draw him occasionally to speak at various conferences. Accompanied by his wife Carol, they
minister to our guests at summer family conferences, couples conferences, men’s conferences and
in fall 2011 even a grandparenting conference. They are an example to men and women of faith.
Bob speaks on practical biblical topics with compassion and depth. He has a great sense of humor,
keeps his illustrations vital and up-to-date, and draws the audience into understanding the way
good speakers are able to do.
Bob and Carol live in Yorba Linda, California. They have two grown sons and nine grandchildren
who they spend as much time with as possible.
