Kami Webb
Kami was born and raised in Amarillo, Texas. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in graphic design; however, she quickly came to realize that breathing life and encouragement into others was what made her come alive. Soon after, Kami journeyed to become a teacher, and taught for 12 years, both stateside and abroad.
Though Kami is no longer in the classroom, any opportunity to encourage another is where you’ll find her. She is currently a caregiver for the elderly with dementia. On the weekends you can find her either working as a barista, or working with Dallas’ homeless youth at our local youth center.
The ability to breathe light and love into another is where Kami finds great joy. She firmly believes that as long as we have a pulse, we have a purpose. No one is too far gone for Jesus’ redemptive power. If God can use her, you better believe He can use you, too! -
