Following
God’s lead
Back when I was in the youth group of my home church, we were constantly making trips down to Olivet Nazarene University. Through those experiences, I just knew this was the place where I wanted to be.
“Olivet has an awesome, accredited social work program that is helping me prepare for my career. The professors are some of the best out there, and they have all worked in the areas that they teach. This helps a lot as they share what it’s really like in the field.
“In choosing my major, I knew that I wanted to help people through social work. I knew this was what God was leading me to do.
“ I’ve also grown spiritually while at ONU. I’ve been involved in Bible studies and other ministries, but chapel is what has really helped me grow closer with the Lord.
The first time I listened to Dr. Bowling speak, it was a life-changing moment as he explained that it is our time to fly. “ I am so grateful to those who helped make this all possible for me through their gifts to scholarships. If I were to meet them face to face, I would tell them two simple, yet meaningful words: ‘Thank you.’” — Roy Franklin ’11, social work major from Kingsley, Mich.
