Hello Everyone!

My name is Kathryn McBratney, and I am a full-time missionary serving with Fire & Fragrance South Africa.

Growing up, I didn’t fully understand missions as a lifestyle. That changed in 2022 when I participated in a 6-month Discipleship Training School with Circuit Riders. The experience completely transformed my perspective—I now see missions as a way of life, whether I’m at home or serving in the nations. During that time, I encountered the real, living Jesus, grew as a leader, and made a personal commitment to be part of what God is doing in the world. Since then, I’ve been following Him wherever He leads, embracing His heart for the world and walking fully in who He created me to be.

Fire & Fragrance South Africa is a community located in Potchefstroom, South Africa, raising up a generation with a fire for Jesus that becomes a fragrance of Christ to the lost. We join the Great Commandment with the Great Commission, keeping our hearts burning with love for Jesus and compassion for people. Our community of over 170 full-time staff, students, interns, and children is passionately committed to seeing lives and nations transformed by the gospel.

My heart is to see the next generation encounter Jesus’ love, not only in Potchefstroom but unto the nations. To fully dedicate myself to this mission, I am building a team of partners who will give $3,000 a month. Every gift—monthly or one-time—directly empowers me to serve full-time, reach more people, and advance God’s work through this ministry.

Thank you for prayerfully considering joining this mission with me.

With love,

Kathryn
