Hey Hey! My name is Kate Gentry and I‘m from Spanish Fort Alabama! I‘m super pumped for this amazing opportunity. So, why did I choose the World Race? During my Junior and a little into my Senior year of high school, I looked into different colleges. I kept getting the usual question of “where are you going next year?” I could never settle on a college or a major. Taking a mission trip had always been sitting in the back of my head, so I looked into different gap years and internships available. I was informed of this amazing opportunity and felt the Lord tugging on my heart to apply. Doors kept opening and pointing me in this direction so I took it as the Lord telling me to do this. Pursuing this adventure is so exciting. I have felt so much peace from this decision. I cannot wait to see what the Lord has in store for me and I am excited to grow more in my relationship with Him and other fellow believers.

Hi, Kate!
I’m so encouraged by your decision to do this. Praying for you and the Lord to use you how He sees fit this year!
Hey Kate, great to be able to hear from you and to leave you a message. Grateful to your mom for sharing your blog site and have shared it with Anna. We miss you! We did the 5 Q for Ephesians 1: 1-14 and the young ladies who were there when you were last with us were there with one bringing a second friend!
We’re thankful for our Lord’s calling you His and leading you to theworldrace. May He continue to bless you through these days with more insights into your own and other’s lives there and especially more understanding of His way in and through you as He strengthens you in all the ways you need. Next Sunday Anna and I plan to share with them from your blog and we’ll write you again. Hugs with love!
