B.K. became involved with Faith Alive USA in 2012 after her first visit to the Faith Alive Clinic in Jos, Nigeria. Forever changed by the experience, B.K. sought to answer the question she had since childhood of “Why was I born at this place, at this time, for what reason?” Embracing her volunteer position at Faith Alive USA and returning to Nigeria at least once a year, she is finding the answers. “Being part of Faith Alive USA is not a job or a duty, it is a privilege. I get to work with wonderful volunteers with great hearts. I get to work alongside of awesome, dedicated Nigerians, both Christian and Muslim, who care for their nation, their community and all people in need. It is the most rewarding work I do.” After completing her Bachelor’s and Master’s training in Applied Exercise Physiology from San Diego State University, B.K. worked in various sectors of healthcare. After residing for 32 years in Northern California, B.K. moved with her husband Kelly to Bend, OR, where she is involved with Westside Church and Habitat for Humanity.
