Katie Davis : Kisses from Katie

Dave Ramsey interviewed Katie Davis this week to discuss her book, Kisses from Katie: A Story of Relentless Love and Redemption. Katie has lead quite a life in a short time, at 18 she visited Uganda for the first time. There was an instant attraction on a level she did not understand at the time.

During the summer of the following year, she returned to Uganda to teach Kindergarten at an orphanage. As she observed how the children lived and the lack of education in the area, she started a sponsorship program that lead to Amazima Ministries International, a non-profit organization dedicated to the people of Uganda.

Now living there and the mother of 13 adopted daughters, Katie is 24 years old and has made this her life. Sounds like a great story!
