You may have seen her at one of our bridal fairs. Kate Torres was once an exhibitor at Before I Do — a familiar face in the wedding industry, building her business one fair at a time. But over time, God led her in a different direction. She set aside the booth and the bridal fair circuit, and instead began showing up at malls with a microphone and a heart full of praise.
Today, Kate busks in malls — not for tips or fame, but to worship God alongside whoever happens to walk by. She sings. People stop. And sometimes, a moment in a mall hallway becomes something far more meaningful than anyone expected.
Kate still graces weddings, too — but these days, she fills those moments with worship songs rather than the usual repertoire. If you'd like her to lead worship at your wedding or event, you can reach out to her directly through her Facebook fan page.
What started as a personal calling quietly grew into a mission. Over several months, Kate began giving away free Bibles and merch during her busking sessions — and by God’s grace, more than a thousand copies of God’s Word found their way into the hands of mall-goers, strangers, and seekers across the Philippines.
When she put out a call for Bible donations, Before I Do Bridal Fair answered. Together with the Philippine Bible Society, we sent boxes of Bibles to support her mission. And we were not alone — Jesus HUGS Ministries and @pamaypay.mnl also came alongside her, each one playing a part in making sure God’s Word kept moving.
In her own words, Kate shared what this season of ministry has meant to her:
“This isn’t about numbers or recognition — it’s about making sure God’s Word reaches hearts that need hope, healing, and restoration. Every Bible placed into someone’s hands is an opportunity for a life to be changed by Jesus.”
“Let’s continue praying for this generation — that more influencers, artists, and content creators would use their platforms to point people to Christ instead of leading them toward things that destroy lives. May our voices, gifts, and influence always lead others to the One who gives true peace, purpose, and eternal hope.”

We are deeply grateful to everyone who made this possible — the Philippine Bible Society, Jesus HUGS Ministries, and @pamaypay.mnl — and to Kate for her faithfulness to a calling that most people would have walked away from.
Before I Do Bridal Fair has always been more than a place to book wedding suppliers. It is a community. And communities show up for one another. When Kate called, we answered. And we would do it again.
