In this episode of Going the MILE: Stories of Calling and Ministry in the Greater Northwest, Bishop Cedrick Bridgeforth speaks with Kathy Bryson, who, along with her husband Dana, is the Pacific Northwest Conference Disaster Response Coordinator and early response team coordinator. From wildfires, to hurricanes, to floods, Kathy shares how her call began with a feeling, a quiet pull to serve, and how that heart-led yes has grown into years of ministry alongside those rebuilding their lives after disaster.

Her story lives at the core of the MILE. Ministry that Matters means showing love through action. Itineration and Location take shape in every community she serves. Lay Ministry Enhancement is evident in training and equipping others to respond, and Eliminating Racism is reflected in her commitment to inclusivity in leadership and care.
