Karla Bolanos

Hi My name is Karla Bolaños. I am a new Christian Artist and also a third grade teacher. I love kids and am excited to annouce that we are expecting our first child! Below you will find my story and passion behind this music God has given me to share with the world. I pray that you are blessed and encouraged.Love in Christ, Karla.

By all accounts, Karla Bolaños was a normal pastors kid. Then young love sideswiped her like a speeding train. At fifteen, Karla found herself pregnant by an older man. His campaign to end the pregnancy, down to driving her to the appointment and paying the fee, was relentless.

Her greatest fear was destroying her fathers ministry. Despite her desire to have the baby, mounting pressure and fear tactics left her believing there was only one way out.

I didnt feel I was worthy to ask for Gods help. I felt like I was on an islandalone and devastated, says Karla. The decision that followed would haunt her for years. Karla kept her secret hidden for what seemed an eternity. It was like dying a slow death. Then grace stepped in.

When Caleb met Karla at Lee University, it seemed the rest was history. But there was a hitch. Caleb was a vehement pro-life advocate a fact that surfaced well into the courtship. Karla knew it was time to bring her dark secret into the light.

The fallout literally sent Caleb into the wilderness asking God the big question Why? Together, this young couple grew up in the Lord fast. With Calebs support Karla would have the most difficult conversation of her life.having to tell her parents what had happened. Like the story of the prodigal, they met her with open arms, forgiveness and tears that often express what words cannot say

Today Karlas life is filled with happy endings. Her marriage is strong and her parents are her biggest fans. Now, after singing on such landmark albums as Alvin Slaughters God Is With Us and Ron Kenolys Sing Out, Bolaños is poised to step out.

God is a God of grace and forgiveness. Thats why I choose songs that minister to people who need hope,who feel they've messed up their lives in some way, says Karla.
