They are both outdoor enthusiasts and uses outdoor sports to reach out to cities and nations. They both believe that we can all “take Jesus at His Word” John 4:50 because “For the word of God is alive and powerful.

James
Friends call me Ja-mes. I have a passion for teaching and the outdoors. I love sharing my life experience and knowledge. I am encouraged whenever I see people succeed and reach their highest potential. I love seeing God’s word come to pass in a person’s life.
I have come to a personal relationship with Jesus as my Savior at a later point in my life and God is excitedly making up for lost time. Our Heavenly Father has taken me on an extremely awesome journey and I can’t wait to run into his arms at every turn.
I believe as a son of the living God in doing everything with the same radical passion that Jesus had done for me and always having the joy of His vision set before me. This is how I see each person, as the joy set before Jesus.
Kata
I love chocolates (dark please) and strawberries. Yes, I do have a sweet tooth. I eat dessert before the main meal and eat dessert after meal as well. Can’t miss that!
When I encountered the presence of Papa God and experienced His love some years ago, my preconception and misconceptions of who and what God is got wrecked. It just gets better as time goes by, the things that I have been taught and conditioned to believe as a child, He just keeps getting them wrecked. I love His presence, I love the freedom one finds in His presence. I love His Word that is alive and makes all His promises available to me. I love hearing Him speak to me like a Father would to a child. Most of all, I love seeing people get free and walk in their true identity and destiny.
It is my passion to tell everyone that God is a relational God and Jesus has won it all for them. The Jesus who takes all condemnation and guilt away, the Jesus who did away with religion and tradition to give back to us the unconditional love of God, to give back to us our true identity in Jesus, sons and daughters of the Living God and to give back to us heaven here on earth.
