Hi.
I’m Amanda Kay.
Yes, I am a girl and a youth pastor!
I absolutely love my students (shoutout to my Misfits and theBridge!!)
I am 22.
I am from the hands of the US (Michigan).
My favorite season is spring, it holds so much promise.
My favorite color is orange.
Swimming is my favorite.
I work in retail, it’s boring but it pays the bills.
I graduated from Grace Bible College with a BS in Youth Ministry in 2010.
I have spent a total of 4 months in Romania working with orphans.
I love orphans.
Music is my passion, although I can’t sing very well or play guitar.
I looooooove hardcore music.
And moshing.
I play the flute.
The most camping I have done was in girl scouts in 3rd grade. We were on raised platform tents. When it rained we went into “The Lodge” and slept on mats on the floor.
I really like to read.
I have two favorite books of the Bible… Exodus and Romans.
I love the Old Testament.
 
I have an amazing family who supports me in whatever I am doing.
My parents rock!!! <3
And I have the best little brother ever. He is turning into such an amazing young man and I love him a ton!!!


That was my about me section before I left for the race. Now let me tell you a little about me post race.

I am still Amanda Kay.
I have a passion to mesh Youth Ministry and Missions somehow eventually.
I am 24 [celebrated my 24th in month 11 in Malaysia]
I am from Michigan forever, but my home is in the nations.
I am currently looking for a job that will pay off some bills so I can go back out into the nations.
I love community.
I love seeing people transformed by the Holy Spirit.
I am a powerful, strong woman of God but i struggle to mesh that with my life sometimes.
The Holy Spirit speaks through me and to me and gives me sweet prophetic words for others.
D squad 2nd Generation is my heart beat and my home and I am ridiculously in love with those wonderful people.
I fell in love with Scripture on my race, particularly 2 Chronicles surprisingly.
Yep that is me.
