Early years

Kay Lee Arthur was born on November 11, 1933, in Jackson, Michigan. She grew up in a home that honored God. Her family moved frequently, and in each new community they looked for a church home first, and then looked for a house to live in. She graduated from nursing school in 1955 at age 21 and married her first husband, Frank Thomas Goetz, Jr., who suffered from a bipolar disorder. They divorced in 1961 and although after becoming a Christian several years later she determined to reconcile, he committed suicide before they could reconcile. Kay explained in 2008, "Sin will take you farther than you ever intended to go, it will cost you more than you ever expected to pay, and it will keep you longer than you ever intended to stay. Unfortunately, over the next few years, I sought comfort with several other men including a two-year relationship with a married man." One day she went down on her knees, a harlot, and she got up a saint.

Afterwards, she continued nursing and moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee to attend Tennessee Temple University, where she earned a diploma. There, she met Jack Arthur (born March 14, 1926,), who had graduated from Tennessee Temple with a Th.G. in 1956. Jack served with The Pocket Testament League for 10 years, taking him to 70 countries in Africa and Latin America. The couple were married on December 16, 1965 and served as missionaries in Mexico but medical problems forced them to leave the mission field. Kay and Jack returned to Chattanooga, Tennessee, confident that the Lord had further plans for them. Jack became the station manager of a local Christian radio station, and Kay taught the Bible to teens in their living room.

The number of teens attending Kay's bible study group steadily grew, and a 32-acre farm was purchased to accommodate the expanding ministry, which was named Reach Out Ranch. The radio station was sold in 1972, and Jack became full-time administrator for Reach Out Ranch. The ministry's name was eventually changed to Precept Ministries International (PMI), in order to more clearly communicate the organization's focus of establishing people in God's Word.

Arthur's husband of 51 years, Jack, who battled cancer, died from Alzheimer's disease in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on January 9, 2017, at age 90.[2]
