We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
Hey,
My name is Kilian and I am a missionary with FOCUS Europe.
I am excited to serve with the FOCUS team in Düsseldorf, Germany! Just send me a text so we can meet up.
I grew up in Graz, Austria. After graduating from high school, I moved to Vienna, where I studied Portuguese and International Relations.
During my time in Vienna, I was introduced to the FOCUS missionaries and became good friends with a missionary from the USA. Growing up in a Catholic home, I believed in God, but without a deep and personal conviction and practiced faith only lukewarm and half-hearted. This changed in a steady but gentle process that brought me closer to a living relationship with Jesus Christ. The missionaries provided a community of students walking the talk and yet met me where I am at. They did not only encourage and teach but simply shared life with me. Through the mentorship of my missionary, I was able to grow in so many areas of my life.
The way that FOCUS brings faith to students is fruitful and works, which is one of the reasons why I decided to become missionary myself. Now I am grateful to pass on the faith I have been given to help students grow in this crucial phase of their lives. I do this so that they can find courage, hope, joy and beauty and be beacons for Christ.
All my work would not be possible without my team of dedicated mission partners who support me with all the means necessary to bring me to the students. If you are interested to become a mission partner as well, I would love to get in touch with you.
We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
By building genuine friendships, we meet students on a deeper level.
We teach students how to share the gospel, who in turn teach other students how to pass it on.
