Hi, I’m Anna! I’m a FOCUS missionary!

It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you.

– Pope St. John Paul II

Where I serve

“Sometimes God moves mountains, other times he moves you to them” – Dylan Heggedal

I serve at Carroll College in Helena, Montana! I get to serve alongside my teammates – Mike, Noah, Brooke, and Allie. Yay! Go Saints!

My Story

Freedom! Peace! Joy! Friendship!

These are just a few of the gifts that God desires to give each and every one of us! For a long time, I thought that these things were too far out of reach for me. Oh man, was I wrong. Through intimacy with Jesus and authentic friendships, I have experienced a life greater and more abundant than I could have ever imagined for myself.

College years are filled with many new life experiences and big questions. With no support or community, it is easy to believe that you are alone through it all. Again and again, the Lord has taught me that I need Him and I need people. We are not meant to live this life alone! My hope is for everybody to know and live out of this truth.

I walk with college students towards God, so that they may find the profound love, joy, and freedom that comes from a personal relationship with Christ!

Your Impact

When I answered the call to join FOCUS, I made the decision to rely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners to help me through this mission. I’ve been blessed with the most amazing people who have journeyed with me as I serve on campus. If you are interested in supporting me, please let me know of the best way to reach you, and I will schedule an appointment. I would be honored to share this mission and the students of Carroll with you!
