Katie grew up in America with all its comforts: a loving family, high school homecoming queen, class president, a bright future in college, a boyfriend. She had it all. But then she heard the call of Jesus, left what she had, and followed him.
She wanted to do a year long mission trip before college so she went to Uganda to serve as a teacher. While there she saw the desperate needs of the poor, starving orphans and adopted 14 of them (yes 14!). Now she lives in Uganda as a single, 22-year old mother of over a dozen kids and runs a ministry called Amazima to help other poor children there.
