In every area of society, some women stand out from the crowd. Wellington Boone calls them Kingmakers. They are the women that people remember. They're the wives, mothers, teachers, and managers who helped others become what they are today. You don't always see the mom behind a successful person, but she's a Kingmaker, whether you see her or not. She's under-acknowledged and under-appreciated, but she loves being a Kingmaker just the same. A Kingmaker has the power of influence over another person's life and the ability from God to make that person great. Wellington Boone called his late wife Katheryn the Kingmaker who inspired his book Women Are Kingmakers! They were married for 48 years before her passing in 2022. At a Promise Keepers event in Chicago in 1996 where Wellington Boone was a speaker, his topic was "Going All Out for Your Wife." Men cheered as he told them how to become more like Christ to their wives. Then he stopped and called his wife Katheryn to come from backstage. Here is the video: https: //youtu.be/Dwor7xN6kA4 As the Windy City blew everything off his podium, he asked her to tell the men what she had said to him the night before at their hotel. Katheryn Boone had already been his wife for 23 years, so few things he did could surprise her, but this time 80,000 men were watching as she walked across the stage to respond to him. She said, "My husband came back to the hotel last night. I didn't come to the evening meeting, so I didn't know anything that was going on and he asked me a question. He said, "Hon, how would you rate me, from one to ten?" He didn't prep me or anything. I really thought about this thing and I didn't answer him right away, I just want you to know, but I told him from one to ten, I rate him an eleven." They still have the same success teaching men and women truths that make marriages last! Bishop Boone has been a respected Christian ministry leader and pioneer in reconciliation for 50 years.
