A global nomad, Katy grew up as a fifth generation Colorado native, attended college and seminary and was ordained in Tennessee, met and married a guy from Pennsylvania, ministered for ten years and birthed a child in Kenya, served as a children\u2019s pastor in a small church in Kentucky, and currently ministers to college students in a university library in Orange County, California, where she\u2019s also the neighborhood engagement team leader for her local church. She is preparing to make another move this summer; this time to the heart of America, Indianapolis, and hoping to root long-term there. She and her husband, Kip, have two delightful boys, a college freshman and high school freshman.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout her twenty-odd years of ministry, she searches for what makes each place unique, its heartbeat, stories, and people. As a pilgrim, she brings a wider view of the Kingdom of God to those who are rooted. When she moves into a new place\u2014whether Kenya or Kentucky or California\u2014she\u2019s worked hard to learn the language and culture of the new place. She learned to love chai tea and farmers\u2019 markets and sushi. She seeks to fit in and understand the good news of the Kingdom in whatever context she finds herself. But she also brings those contextual perspectives of the Kingdom to new places in her journey. Love of, and active engagement with, \u201cthe Other\u201d has been a theme in her faith and ministry in new places.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Passions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bread<a href=\"http:\/\/dminlgp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Four-Lines.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11856 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/dminlgp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Four-Lines-243x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"243\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Creation<\/p>\n<p>Well-crafted words<\/p>\n<p>Openness to the Other<\/p>\n<p>The church being the Church<\/p>\n<p>Thoughtful worship<\/p>\n<p>Long conversations<\/p>\n<p>Eating together<\/p>\n<p>Collaboration<\/p>\n<p>Refugees<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quirks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Shopping makes her tense, as does traffic.
