We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
Hi! My name is Jacob and I’m a FOCUS Missionary
Evangelizing the world starts with us.
I am finishing my degree in Industrial Engineering while evangelizing the South Dakota School of Mines campus. I am teamed up with four other amazing missionaries that have been the best team I’ve seen on our campus. In January of 2026, I will be on a different campus reaching out to students and spreading the gospel full time.
I grew up Catholic at the St. Phillips church and began to get into my faith during my last years of High School. At college, I was fascinated by the faith shown by the members of the Newman Center. I began going to more Newman events and joined a few Bible Studies and a Discipleship group before starting my own. I discerned the call to FOCUS and am looking forward to changing lives in the name of Jesus.
When I discerned 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. With your help, I will be able to work full time with college students and share the life that Jesus wants for them. If you are interested in partnering with me, please feel free to call me at (320) 221-5487 or email me at [email protected] and I will schedule an appointment. I’d be honored to share this mission with you!

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.
