Serena Michael

Hello, my name is Serena! Please keep reading to learn more about my mission and story.

Where I serve

The Lord has called me to serve as a missionary at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville!

My Story

I was blessed to be raised in a Catholic family that taught me about a personal relationship with the Lord and formed my faith well. From a young age, I desired to be a missionary, but I didn’t know what that looked like. When I heard the words from Mark’s gospel “Go forth into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to all creation”, I was terrified.

During college, my faith deepened and I learned that being a leader in the faith is much more than speaking to a large crowd. It starts with leading by example, growing in friendships with the people I encounter, and then sharing the truth of the gospel.

I was incredibly convicted by this idea, and have been running with it the rest of my time in college. As I reached a turning point in my junior year, I realized I had an opportunity to pursue this mission intentionally after college by serving as a FOCUS missionary, and I said yes to the call!

Your Impact

The Lord has invited me to participate in His call to make disciples of all nations. The nature of this mission means that I rely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners so that I can devote my time and attention to students in a radical way. If you are interested in going on mission with me through your support, please let me know the best way I can reach you and I will schedule a time to meet! You can reach me at [email protected]. It would be an honor to have you join me on this mission.
