Katie Davis was a typical high school student when she took a trip to help in an orphanage in Uganda in 2007. Katie was born in a well-to-do family, graduated top in her high school class and had even been homecoming queen. Instead of beginning college right after graduation, she committed to teach kindergarten in Uganda for 10 months, much to the dismay of her parents. Her commitment to Uganda has now become that of a lifetime. Katie was greatly impacted by the need she saw in Uganda, especially in regards to children, many of whom could not pay their school fees and did not have enough to eat. After beginning to dig roots and developing relationships with the people around her, Katie decided to establish Amazima Ministries, which began by providing meals 
and school fees for children in need outside of Jinja, Uganda. Katie began renting a house, just so she had an address needed to certify the organization. As she went about her ministry, Katie came across two girls, a pair of sisters, in need of a place to stay. She readily invited them into her home and as no family members could be found to take them in, she began the process of adoption. Katie is now a mother to 13 Ugandan girls in addition to running Amazima. The organization started out as a miracle, surviving with little financial stability, yet the Lord continued to provide. Today, Katie continues her ministry of running Amazima and raising 13 girls. Amazima continues to expand, now providing a sponsorship program, medical services and bed nets that help to prevent malaria. Katie has become a well-known figure among Christians for her outstanding faith and willingness to go where the Lord called. She has a book called Kisses from Katie, which I highly recommend (seriously – let me know if you would like to borrow it) which describes her story and faith journey in further detail. As fearless millennials like Katie follow God’s calling, the world is slowly being bettered.
We all have that pothole on the way to work, unattractive vacant lot across the street, or overgrown playground that we wish would magically be taken care of upon waking up the next day. However, most things in life are not magically taken care of, and most of us don’t make the effort to take care of them ourselves. In the aforementioned cases the policy is usually to report hazards or unsightliness to the correct local government department and hope that it is taken care of within the next year. Unfortunately, the steps for civic responsibility are often difficult or unclear and weeds end up remaining for much longer than necessary.
