Room at the Table

Strength to Strength Sisters welcomed Jamila Kurtz for a conversation in missional hospitality.

Do you spend your days changing diapers, washing dishes and sorting through piles of laundry?

Does doing something to advance the kingdom of God seem like an elusive, distant dream?

My life was changed forever when I began to see our home as one of my greatest tools in bringing the kingdom of God to those around me on this earth.

I’m excited to share what God has taught me about welcoming the stranger and making room for others today … right where we are.

An interactive question-and-answer period follows.

I’ve been a wife to Luke for 21 years. I spend my days nurturing nine energetic children who call me “Mom” and a neighborhood where I’m known as “Madam Jamila”.

I love Jesus, my family, and serving those around me. I’m passionate about finding beauty in everyone’s story, learning something new every day and sharing nuggets of goodness with whoever I find will listen.

Life is such a gift! I’ve journeyed from my birth on the island of Jamaica to being raised in the USA and now living in the beautiful country of Kenya for the last seven years.

I’m simply in awe. He’s an amazing God! Everything, even the hard, has been restored in my life into one grand and glorious testimony to His goodness and grace.
