Hello everyone, my name is Katie Draper, and I am a junior nursing major at Olivet Nazarene University. I’m currently gaining invaluable experience through clinical work on the Medical-Surgical floor at Riverside Medical Center in Kankakee. Over the past two years,
I’ve also had the privilege of serving as a Resident Assistant in Oaks Hall and contributing to Manna, a ministry dedicated to providing meals for those in need. Olivet has offered me incredible opportunities for personal and spiritual growth, and I am deeply grateful for the journey so far. This summer, I’m honored to have another opportunity to expand my perspective as I join a team traveling to Tanzania, a beautiful East African country known for its breathtaking landscapes, diverse wildlife, and rich cultural heritage. Growing up in a less diverse environment, I look forward to immersing myself in a new culture, witnessing the beauty of God’s creation from a fresh perspective, and deepening my understanding of community and faith. Our team will have the privilege of sharing the good news and building meaningful relationships within the local communities. This journey promises to be transformative, and your support would mean so much to me. Thank you for your prayers, and if you feel led to support financially, please consider donating here. Thank you again :)
