What Alumni are Saying About Ministry & Evangelism

Erica Dunham Headshot

Erica Dunham '23

"At Wheaton, I mobilized peers to participate in the local and global church through service and prayer. Now, I do that in the context of a faith-based global organization where I invite individuals into generosity and participation in a mission to break the cycle of poverty around the world."

David Nemetz Headshot

David Nemetz '24

"In my time leading with World Christian Fellowship, it taught me how to develop a team and delegate specific tasks, and it helped grow my heart for the global church. We had so much fun hosting weekly worship nights and hearing from speakers from around the world. I also got to go on a trip to Mexico with Student Missionary Partners, which helped open my eyes to a new culture with various ministries that help the community. All of this helped prepare me to be a youth pastor now, where I get to teach my students every week about how much Jesus loves them and how He wants them involved in his global church! I love that we get to do things like raise money to support missionaries and go on trips to other countries to see how God is working there. I’m so thankful for what the OME taught me and I hope more students can experience the same!"

Dan Hanson (w/Kristen Hanson) '20

Business Analyst/Project Coordinator

"I use some of the skills I learned during my time in leadership almost every day as I interact with my coworkers. "
