As TKA students returned to school after Christmas vacation, they were treated to a special guest speaker during their chapel time, TKA alumna Megan Fraga ’07. Megan, who works with Partners Worldwide, was TKA’s Homecoming Ministry Focus this year for which the students raised more than $5,000 through their Homecoming efforts. She joined with Partners Worldwide to participate in a one-year Program Management Internship in Liberia where she is instrumental in helping local entrepreneurs by providing capital and business mentorship to stimulate commerce all while spreading the love of God through partnership with local churches.

Megan shared the path that led her initially to Sudan and now to Liberia as well as the lessons she has learned from following this path including the insight she has gained from her life experiences in these civil war torn nations. As Megan spoke to the students, her heart for the people of these countries was very evident as was her desire to help them become self-sustained entities. Megan shared, “It is my strange affinity towards challenge, my love for Africa, and my enthusiasm to serve Christ that I believe is leading me.” Megan’s family still resides in Wellington and her brother Zach is a senior at TKA. Students were blessed to hear of Megan’s adventures, especially considering she had been sitting in their seats just a few years prior; they could see that one person can make a difference in this world.
