Danae Stokes,‘23 B.A. in Youth and Educational Ministries
As a Freshman, Danae Stokes faced an injury that inhibited her from playing volleyball and could have ruined her college experience. But Multnomah’s Christian community surrounded Danae in prayer and wise teachings. She soon discovered, in her own words, “I am a child of God, and that’s where I find my joy, through my relationship with Christ.” Danae was eventually able to return to volleyball while majoring in Youth and Educational Ministries and exploring new gifts like student leadership. At Multnomah, Danae learned that sports are one of many gifts God has given her to live a life of purpose.

How are Multnomah grads finding new ways to tell the ancient stories in the Bible? Jon Collins ‘03 and Tim Mackie ‘00 are co-founders of BibleProject, a crowdfunded project that produces media to help people everywhere experience the Bible as a unified story that leads to Jesus. While Collins and Mackie were BibleProject’s first MU grads, the organization has gone on to hire several Multnomah alumni. Kenzie Halbert-Howen ‘13, now serves as BibleProject’s Lead Editor.
When asked how her experiences at Multnomah helped prepare her for her role, she said “Multnomah gave me life-long friends, a work ethic that would carry me through graduate school, and a deep love for reading, writing, and the story of the Bible. The foundation I gained from my MU education is something I tap into every day at my job, and I’m incredibly grateful for my years spent on campus.” 11
Campus Life We Believe college should be fun. Really, really fun. And nobody does “fun” better than Multnomah.
