Kayla Whittaker serves in Sofia, a historic city surrounded by mountains and the capital of Bulgaria. She serves children in social homes (orphanages) and in minority communities of the Roma (gypsy) people, who are often marginalized and impoverished. Kayla connects with people through discipleship and various service opportunities within the places she serves.

Kayla faces challenges of cultural differences as well as the monumental task of ministering in a spiritually void area. (Only 3% or less of European populations say they have a relationship with Christ.) Trying to break down barriers and minister to a minority population is difficult, and even further illustrates the need for unity in the body of Christ.
