Katie Potter Joins Lahash

Katie Potter has joined Lahash International part-time overseeing the U.S. Sponsorship operations. The position involves organizing and building the Lahash team of volunteers, coordinating the sponsorship operations in the Portland, Or. office, and managing new and existing Lahash sponsors.

Katie has been involved with Lahash since 2009, and has visited East Africa on two occasions, including travels to Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda in 2010, where she was able to spend time with the children at all of Lahash's partner locations.

"Being a part of God's Kingdom here on earth is exiting," Katie says. "It's amazing to see God move among His people and to step out in faith where I feel Him leading me."

When it comes to the personal and practical ways that Lahash has been able to connect with the vulnerable children in East Africa, Katie says, "I love seeing how excited the children at IWASSRU got when they received something from their sponsors. It was so touching. Sharing the children's hand-written letters with their sponsors is one of the best parts of working with Lahash."
