Spotlight- Julie Sullivan

Julie Sullivan working hard in our kitchen

Please remember to pray for Julie she is currently 
at the University of Ghana in Africa to study abroad 
from January to May of 2011.


Julie Sullivan is a junior at Whitworth University, originally from Portland, Oregon. She began attending FCC at the beginning of this school year and says she is inspired by seeing a church that is truly living out God’s mission for us -in loving the least of these.

Family: Julie has a mom, dad and two older brothers who all went to the University of Oregon, she decided to switched things up.

Hobbies: Juggling and unicycling (yes, she could be in the circus!). She also loves just spending time with her friends and family laughing and enjoying one another’s company.

Her favorite thing about God: That he will always love me no matter what I do, and that whenever I need to talk he is right there waiting. He brings me joy and energy every day!

A blessed time: This summer Julie had the opportunity to work with the least of these. “It was so amazing to have the opportunity to reach out to those less fortunate that I, and to be doing what God has
called me to.”

A misconception people have about her: People think that she is always crazy, happy and full of energy. She feels there are many people who do not see the side of her that struggles, has breakdowns and takes time to slow down and relax.

Favorite lyrics: “We live, we love, we forgive and never give up cuz the days we are given are gifts from above and today we remember to live and to love.” & “Give me your eyes for just one second, give me your eyes so I can see, everything that I keep missing, give me you love for humanity.”

Favorite family tradition: Thanksgiving. –They take a white tablecloth and each person paints their hands and places it on the tablecloth, then they each make a turkey design! Then they can look back over the years and see who was there and how everyone has grown.

Biggest challenge: Trying to figure out where God is leading her. “I feel I am passionate about a lot of different social justice issues right
now, and I don’t want to spread myself too thin.”

Prayer requests: Julie is heading to the University of Ghana to study abroad from January to May. Her hope is that God will use her there.
