Hey gang! My name is Kristy Keprta, but my squad calls me Kep. We are trekking around the world and telling people about Jesus. What a life we get to live! If you found yourself here and don’t know me from Eve, here are some fun facts.

What you need to know about me:

1. I am a proud graduate of Texas A&M University! Whoop! My squad thinks I came from a cult… honestly still up for debate. 
2. I am so at peace with some watercolor and calligraphy in front of me.
3. I once pushed a tarantula across the road so it wouldn’t get run over.
4. I firmly believe ice cream can take big problems and make them seem a little smaller. This has been confirmed on the race for sure. 
5. My friends tell me that I am a middle aged woman at heart… mainly because I suggest an essential oil for every problem they have.
6. My parents taught me to try everything at least once. I bet they didn’t expect that rule to apply to scorpions.
7. I organize the Target Dollar Section for fun. I miss it more than I thought I would.
8. I am a history teacher with English teacher reading habits.
9. I have an unhealthy obsession with Julie Andrews.
10. I am so enraptured by who Jesus is! I love to share his gospel and how it radically transformed my life.

Why am I going on the World Race?

I have wanted to experience culture from all nations since before I even knew who Jesus was. Now, as a new follower of Jesus, this love has been refined into a passion for missions. I want the nations that I love to know the one I love more than anything: Jesus. I desire for every tribe, tongue, and nation to hear the good news.
