Katelyn O’dea

SIM WORKER ID: 551131
South America

Katelyn is exploring mission in Bolivia and Paraguay, via an exposure trip in December 2026. Katelyn shared: “Through training as a counsellor God has grown my love for walking with people through brokenness. It is my heart for all people to know Jesus and the real hope and restoration that only He brings as He walks with us. For the last two years at Bible college, God has been teaching me more about Himself, particularly about His heart in suffering. I long for people to know Jesus, not just in their heads but deeply in their hearts as they walk through the trials of this life. I hope, God willing, to share Him with others through evangelism and discipleship, so they too would come to treasure his precious words and faithful presence in their lives and be transformed by Him.”
