Keith Magnuson lives in Oak Brook, IL with his wife Terri Capatosto. He has four children -- four boys in college (and beyond) and an eight year old daughter. Keith and his wife, Terri are both executives for McDonald's Corporation. He has worked for McDonald's for 31 years and is responsible for market development in the Midwest. He and Terri make their home in Oak Brook, IL.

He is a member of Christ Church of Oak Brook. Keith is a church elder and a member of the church's Mission Leadership Team. In 2004 Keith participated in a life changing Short Term Mission to Ethiopia in partnership with Benyamen Yusuf. During his mission, God touched his heart through the people of Ethiopia and the many difficult challenges the people of Ethiopia face.

Upon his return he began enlisting the support of others to participate in helping Benyamen bring the Good News to the Ethiopian people and support the very necessary and important outreach projects Benyamen had begun. Ethiopia Christian Ministries was formed to build upon that work to the Glory of God.
