Hey everyone! My name is Christian Sahurie, I am a FOCUS missionary at the University of Nebraska Kearney.
Lopes Up!
“Be who you were created to be, and you will set the world on fire”
St. Catherine of Siena
The lord has called me to serve at the University of Nebraska Kearney! I will be walking alongside the men and women of this college to bring them closer to Christ. I am super excited to also work with students involved in Greek life and share with them the love and happiness I once received as a student.

I grew up in the beautiful city of Arequipa, Peru, surrounded by three stunning volcanoes. I always dreamed of studying at a university in the US after high school. Thanks to God, that dream became true when I was accepted into the University of Colorado Boulder as a Business Administration student (Sko Buffs!). Because of this opportunity, my family and I moved to the US in 2022.
At CU Boulder, I was living my dream, attending a top business school, snowboarding Colorado’s mountains, and spending time with friends and family. Yet, I was not fulfilled. During my sophomore year, I said “yes” to a Bible study invitation, and through the Catholic community, discipleship, daily Mass, and the sacraments, I fell in love with God.
Guided by the FOCUS missionaries at CU Boulder, I felt Christ calling me to show others that they are deeply loved by God. The invitation that changed my life has inspired me to become that same loving friend for others, and I am honored to now help lead people into a life changing relationship with Jesus Christ.


My deepest passion in life is to reach heaven and take others with me. But I cannot do it alone. Therefore, the prayers and financial support of my mission partners make this holy journey possible. Through your support, I can reach the hearts of college students who are longing for purpose, hope, and the love of Christ.
If you are interested in supporting me, I would love to connect and set up an appointment. It would be an honor to have you join me in bringing Christ’s love to college students and helping form lifelong disciples.

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.
