Meet Lori Kate

Lori Kate Lowenhar was born and raised in Elkhart, Indiana, in a home with a Jewish father and a Gentile mother — Shabbat dinners on Fridays and church on Sundays. At a young age she embraced Yeshua into her life, beginning a journey of faith she never could have predicted.

After earning a degree in music education from Cedarville University, she joined The Liberated Wailing Wall — Jews for Jesus' traveling musical evangelism team. It was during those two years that the Lord began directing her heart toward Israel.

In 1998 she took a leap of faith, became a dual citizen, and has called the Holy Land home for 27 years.

A musician, speaker, and mother of four, Lori Kate has raised her family through wars, rocket attacks, and seasons of profound uncertainty. Through it all she has experienced God's faithfulness in ways that have forever shaped her message.

Today she teaches music in the Jezreel Valley, leads home Bible fellowships and a women's Bible study, and travels internationally as a speaker and worship leader. Her story is honest, real, and full of hope.
