Israeli Music & Testimony

Lori-Kate Lowenhar is a dear friend whom I met 20+ years ago. Though not a part of the same team, once upon a time, we both served as international musical missionaries with the now defunct Liberated Wailing Wall. She will be sharing her musical talents and her testimony at Calvary Chapel Greeneville, and will be accompanied by her sister, Leah Duke. ALL ARE WELCOME!

Lori Kate is a talented musician who is a founding member of the Israeli musical group One Lev, One Heart. The group’s name beautifully captures their mission: “One Lev” translates to “One Heart” in Hebrew, and “Lev” means “Lion” in Russian, symbolizing their dedication to bringing glory to our King, the Lion of Judah.

Lori-Kate was born in Elkhart, Indiana, but now calls Israel her home through dual citizenship. She has two sons, Amit and Allon, who share her musical giftings. She is also an international speaker who is committed to encouraging and empowering women. She shares her profound insights on how to “hang on!” in the midst of life’s hardships and challenges and find God’s transforming joy.

The dynamic trio of One Lev, One Heart is completed by her husband, Ilan Gorny, and their friend, Mikhail Bogdanov Monkevich. Born and raised in Haifa, Ilan is the son of Romanian Holocaust survivors and has been playing drums since his teenage years. He is also a vocalist and songwriter. From St. Petersburg, Russia, Mikhail brings his exceptional talents as an artist and accomplished composer to the group. Lori Kate plays clarinet, flute, saxophone, and piano (she’s also a music teacher!). Together, Lori-Kate, Ilan, and Mikhail create a unique and inspiring musical experience that transcends cultural and linguistic barriers, united by their shared passion and faith.

For this evening, however, Lori Kate will not be accompanied by her husband and Mikhail, but rather her sister, Leah Duke! You’re in for a treat.
