Kathy Buurma
Kathy has felt called to mission work from an early age. She says that her story after that has been a "step by step leading of her Shepherd": Jan. 8, 1956-God planted a seed in her heart on her 8th birthday when five missionaries were killed by Auca Indians in Ecuador. 1978-81- Kathy served as a teacher to missionary children in Ecuador with World Radio Missionary Fellowship (HCJB) 2013-2018- Kathy served as a teacher to nationals with Destino del Reino in Honduras building Christian leaders.
Present- Moving forward, Kathy will be a librarian/mentor at La Providencia in Honduras. La Providencia provides family-based community of care for orphans and at-risk children in Honduras to enable them to live spiritually fruitful lives and take their places as leaders in Honduran society.
