In addition to its monetary contribution, GCU
is doing its part through the contributions of its
students, such as Mary
Khorany, a sophomore who
wants to use her business
management major to work
with local missions and
nonprofit organizations.
Khorany is on the refugee
ministry team of GCU’s
Local Outreach, Global
Outreach (LOGO), which
couldn’t be more appropriate. Her family came
here from Iraq when she was two and lived in West
Phoenix for her first three years here. Even today,
they hear horror stories from family and friends
in their former home in Irbil, in the northern Iraq
province of Kurdistan — stories of people fearing
the advance of Islamic State rebels and fleeing to
Turkey and other safe havens.
“Even having family there, I can’t fathom what’s
going on,” she said.
While she respects and admires the work that
GCU does in overseas missions, Khorany said her
focus is local.
“The whole time I’ve been at GCU, my heart
has been focused on the local neighborhood,” she
said. “It’s exciting to see more of the student body
get excited about it, too. That’s what I love about
it — there’s a need and we fulfill that need.”
