Kaylee Dowda

Hi everyone!

My name is Kaylee Dowda, and I’m an Early Childhood Education major with an ESL Teaching minor at Olivet Nazarene University. During my time at Olivet, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to grow in my faith and find ways to serve others through ministry. I currently lead a campus ministry called Manna, where we serve low-income families in the Kankakee area, and it’s been such a blessing to see God move through that work.

This upcoming spring break, I have the amazing opportunity to travel to Inez, Kentucky on a Shalom Project ministry trip! I truly felt a pull from God to be part of this trip, and I’m trusting that He has a purpose in sending me there.

Our team will be serving through tutoring and workshops in local schools, ministering and worshiping at addiction recovery care centers, and supporting community improvement projects around the area.

I’m so excited to serve, connect, and learn from the people of Inez. I believe God will use this trip not only to impact others, but to continue shaping my heart for service and compassion.

While this is such an exciting opportunity, I do need help raising the funds to make it possible. If you feel led, I would be so grateful for your prayers, encouragement, and any financial support you can give toward this trip. Thank you so much for helping make this experience possible. I can’t wait to see all that God will do through this journey!
