Shaina O'Leary


Who are you?  What do you do? 
Hey! Im Shaina O’Leary! Born and raised right down the road in Rainier Washington.  Graduated from there in 2007 with a not 4.0 average.  I met the Lord the summer after graduation and my life has never been the way I thought it would be since. After working for an airline for a bit I decided to check out a house of prayer in Kansas City, Missouri and intern there.  I was taught about God’s deep love for me, His love of me as I am, not just the fixed me- it changed my life and caused me to love Him more. I’ve been back home for a year and a half trying to live the best life I can have- and failed many times but He’s been faithful to bring me through and draw me back to Himself.   

What are your Goals/Dreams/Ambitions? 
I want to be homeless on the streets of Portland someday loving and living with people often forgotten.  I want to farm to feed the orphans, single moms and poor in our community, tangibly meet their needs.  I want love every person I contact well, always.   

Why are you going to Australia?
I’m going to Australia because my buddy Ricky told me about some opportunity to pioneer a coffee shop ministry and learn from the best down in Newcastle.  I have been involved with the Coffey Place for a few years and love what it is about.  People are changed forever by small things.  I want to go  to reach that community with a hope and peace from Christ.  Love, Love, Love!
