KARLA TILLAPAUGH

Having lived in three different continents so far, Karla has grown to love cultures and people from across the globe. During a trip to Thailand, God broke Karla's heart for the orphan and the poor. Though she didn't know that LightBridge would be the result, she had to do something to respond to the desperate need she saw all around her. More than anything, Karla is deeply in love with her Creator, and that love is easily seen and felt by everyone around her. Because of the work of God within her, she is passionate about engaging with people - both in America and abroad, and helping them see God's heart for all people. Karla has a degree in Organizational Management from Colorado Christian University. She resides in Westminster, Colorado with her husband Todd. Together, they feel so blessed by their three adult children and one daughter-in-love the Lord has given to them. As a family, they love traveling around the world, but especially to Cambodia where they spend time loving on children, serving, and helping with the development of this precious place.
