Kate's Story: Using Our Passion in Missions
July 2021
When God called her to ministry, Kate didn’t know what she was supposed to do, only that she wanted to use her life to point others to Christ. She connected with Encompass and joined church planters in London where she discovered how she could use her passion and talent for video production to advance God’s Kingdom. “When something you’re passionate about aligns with a way that you can serve Christ or reach people in His name, it’s indescribable,” she says. Watch Kate's story to see how God is using her gifts to share His gospel.
