Katie was a normal American teenager when she decided to explore the
possibility of voluntary work overseas. She temporarily 'quit life' to serve
in Uganda for a year before going to college. However, returning to 'normal'
became impossible and Katie 'quit life' - college, designer clothes, her
little yellow convertible and her boyfriend - for good, remaining in Uganda.
In the early days she felt as though she were trying to empty
the ocean with an eyedropper, but has learnt that she is not called to
change the world in itself, but tochange the world for one person at a time.
By the age of 22 Katie had adopted 14 girls and founded Amizima
Ministries which currently has sponsors for over 600 children and a feeding
program for Uganda's poorest citizens - so it is no wonder she feels Jesus
wrecked her life, shattered it to pieces, and put it back together making it
more beautiful than it was before.
