Kirti Pickard
Kirti Pickard was born in India and adopted at the age of four, giving her a deep, firsthand understanding of the profound impact adoption can have on a person’s life. She is continually grateful for God's sovereign hand in her journey. In response to her own adoption, Kirti is committed to serving both God and others, striving to live out the calling of James 1:27 in all that she does. Kirti is the host of When I Grow Up, a podcast that shares the extraordinary stories of people whom society deems “ordinary.” She believes that everyone has God-given desires and gifts, and her mission is to help them share what God has done in and through them in their everyday lives. “For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.” – Philippians 2:13 (NLT) She also leads Mission 143, a fundraiser that benefits Lifeline Children's Services. Through this partnership, 100% of the proceeds from the Mission 143 store go directly to supporting Lifeline and their mission to impact vulnerable children and families.
