For more than two decades, Kendra Calico has been a beacon of inspiration through her work in ministry. As the founder of Kendra Calico Ministries, she dedicates her time and voice to uplifting communities through preaching, public speaking, and television broadcasting. Rooted in Memphis but with a reach that spans the globe, Kendra’s mission goes beyond religion—it’s about creating a more united and empowered world.
Kendra has spent 22 years in ministry, building a reputation based on resilience and unwavering faith. Her dedication recently earned her a global award in recognition of her fearless commitment. Whether facing challenges or triumphs, Kendra never puts down the signpost of hope. “Perseverance through intolerable circumstances,” she explains, “is what sets a trailblazer apart.”
Her journey is one of continual motion, of standing tall when others falter. Inspired by iconic figures such as Joyce Meyer and grounded by values seen in classic American shows like The Andy Griffith Show, Kendra’s worldview combines modern relevance with timeless wisdom.
A tele-evangelist by profession, Kendra broadcasts her sermons on television, reaching audiences around the world. Her message of hope, empowerment, and spiritual equality knows no boundaries. She champions causes related to humanitarian development and social equity, with a particular focus on women’s empowerment. While her work resonates with women globally, she remains inclusive in her outreach, avoiding any form of bias to unify rather than divide.
Though based in Memphis, Kendra also operates a headquarters in New York, extending her influence across two dynamic cultural landscapes. “Memphis brings the flavor—the barbecue,” she says with a laugh, “and New York brings the unity.”
Her love for both cities reflects her versatile nature—deeply connected to her roots, yet bold enough to thrive in the energy of a metropolis. This geographical balance mirrors the essence of her work: grounded in community but elevated by vision.
When she’s not on stage or on air, Kendra enjoys high diving and drawing. These hobbies reflect the dual nature of her spirit: adventurous yet introspective. Her freelance art is another channel through which she expresses herself and connects with others.
Kendra stands with organizations like St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, the Red Cross, and Wounded Warriors. Her ministry frequently collaborates with charitable organizations to amplify support for those in need.
“It’s about unity,” she emphasizes. “We all have a role to play in building a stronger, more compassionate world.”
With a ministry that’s thriving and growing, Kendra remains focused on her mission: changing lives, giving hope, and spreading faith. Her story isn’t just one of success—it’s a reminder of what can happen when passion meets purpose.
