Hello!
My name is Lauren Smith, and I am a senior at Olivet Nazarene University! I am finishing up my final year of nursing school, and I also run cross country and track for Olivet. This upcoming spring, Olivet's Shalom Project is organizing mission trips for students to attend around the world. I am extremely blessed to have the opportunity to travel to the Dominican Republic, where we will be partnering with GO Ministries to support the community!
During this trip, I am excited to use my medical experience to help run a two-day health clinic. During this time, we will see many people in need of medications and treatments, and we will be able to provide them with healthcare that they may only see once a year. In addition to the health clinic, our team will be assisting with construction projects needed within the community and support the local teachers and students in the school system. I feel called to participate in this mission opportunity where I can be the hands and feet of Jesus to the community in the Dominican Republic!
I would greatly appreciate your prayers as I prepare for this trip! While this is a very exciting opportunity, I will also need assistance raising the funds to attend this mission trip. If you feel led to give, please donate using this link. Thank you very much for your support and prayers as I head to the Dominican Republic! I am very excited to see how God will move and change lives through this amazing opportunity!
