Kate’s ascension gift is a pastor’s calling. “I learned that I have a pastor’s heart that God used for many years while I was a salon owner. I spent 43 years in the cosmetology industry and owned my salon for 15 years. My staff and my clients were the flock God trusted me with. Within our local church, I’m one of 3 leaders for our Ladies ministry called, “Open House”, founded on the Message version of Matt 5:14 which calls us to be an open house welcoming and drawing others to the Father. Open House is about providing a safe place for our ladies to confide and confess, and be an open book before the Lord and us. We meet once a month and the 3 leaders alternate monthly bringing a devotion. I host our fellowship in our home and provide refreshments. In her “spare time” Kate is a practicing artist, working with abstract expressionism. Her artwork can be seen at www.kateword.com if interested to see more.”

God has now added another ministry to Kate’s busy life. She prays for CMN missionaries, ministers and ministries each week, by name. Then she communicates to them so they know they were prayed for.
