Ella Kraemer

Hi! I'm Ella Kraemer, a freshman at Olivet Nazarene University! I'm currently double majoring in Marketing, and Film/TV, and I’m also part of Olivet’s Sound of Praise music group. My time at ONU has already been such a blessing — I’ve grown not only in my studies and creativity but also deeply in my faith and desire to serve others.

This coming summer break, I have the amazing opportunity to travel with The Shalom Project on a ministry trip to Argentina! Our team will be working alongside the local community to support local ministries and create media to tell their stories. I’m also looking forward to exploring the beauty and culture of Argentina and learning from the people there who live out their faith in such inspiring ways. This trip is especially meaningful to me because of my experience this past summer on a mission trip to the Dominican Republic.

That trip completely changed my heart — I saw firsthand how God moves in powerful ways when we step outside our comfort zones and love others intentionally. The relationships I built and the joy I witnessed there deepened my passion for ministry and reminded me that faith is action. Because of that life-changing experience, I feel called to continue serving and sharing God’s love wherever He leads.

While this trip is a huge and exciting adventure, I can’t do it alone! I’ll be raising funds to make this journey possible, and I’d be so grateful for your prayers, encouragement, and support. Every donation, no matter the size, helps me take another step toward this calling. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for believing in me and supporting what God is doing through this opportunity. I can’t wait to see how He works through our team and through the lives we’ll touch in Argentina!
