Tell us about your family: I’m married to my best friend and co-adventurer, Andrew Prescott! We have a pup named Disney that’s our fur baby! What is your regular coffee order? Decaf Brown Sugar Iced Shaken Espresso with Oatmilk. Who are the people that inspire you? Andrew Prescott (my hero), my dad, Christine Caine, Joan of Arc, William Wilberforce, and Jeanne Mayo. What is one thing that most people don't know about you? I’m a HUGE old movie buff! I take pride in my knowledge of movies from the late 30’s to early 60’s. Do you have any weird quirks? I’m obsessed with drinking room-temperature water. I hate ice in all drinks! What is your least favorite thi ng to do? All math problems! Hidden Talent? I genuinely don’t know. What makes you laugh?

MEET KAYLA About Kayla Pavao What is your Ministry Role? Creative Director. When and where did you get saved? At my church in Maui - King’s Cathedral when I was a kid and then I rededicated my life to Him at 18! Tell us about your family? My husband Kaleb and I were born and raised in Hawaii, but you would probably never guess that about him! We moved here after we got married and now have two of the sweetest Texas-born babies, Reign and Everleigh. What is your regular coffee order? It all depends on the weather, but a classic for me is a triple coconut milk 1 raw sugar latte! Who are the people that inspire you? My parents: more and more do I find myself awestruck at everything they did to handle raising seven kiddos. What is one thing that most people don't know about you? Kaleb and I met each other at 8 and 9 years old and we have been best friends since. We’ve known each other for 22 years now! Do you have any weird quirks? If so what are they? I HATE when my black clothes don’t have the right tint to them. Sometimes it’s a purple hue or a green hue and if I wear black on black when they don’t match, it drives me insane. What is your least favorite thing to do? Cook. You’d think having an executive chef as a father would inspire me, but I’m just not good at it. Kaleb is though, so that’s a win! Hidden Talent? I’m not horrible at cutting hair. What makes you laugh? My husband. No one makes me laugh so hard that I can’t breathe as he does! What is your biggest fear? Being forgotten.
