We’re all here for the same reason. Because of Jesus, our ordinary lives have been transformed in extraordinary ways—and we can’t help but spread that joy. That’s what it means to be a missionary.
Together, we can help everyone experience a personal, intimate relationship with Christ through real, life-giving friendships.
Your commitment to Christ can invite those we serve across more than 200 locations to grow in holiness.

Walk With Us
Every FOCUS missionary has a story of hope to share. Visit our missionary directory to discover them!
As a college student who attends a secular school… it has been a constant struggle trying to clear the smoke to seek the Lord.
Gratefully, I was able to join a FOCUS digital Bible study in the fall, and it was truly life-changing. Witnessing and learning scripture with other people my age who are authentically desiring a relationship with our Lord gave me the confidence I needed to grow closer in my faith.

God calls us to be transformed into Him and make disciples of all nations.
FOCUS missionaries greatly impacted my life by following Jesus' example. I hope to imitate Him daily and be a witness to others in universities, parishes, coffee shops—everywhere!
Kami BeliardFOCUS Regional Director, West Area
I have experienced, and still continue to experience, God’s relentless pursuit of my heart.
We were all made for relationship with God; this is our purpose. I chose to be a missionary for times like these.
Jose David ZamoraFOCUS Missionary
I began my junior year lost and disheartened.
Then I received a phone call from a missionary... She then invited me to a FOCUS retreat, which eventually led to my reversion. The encouragement and support of the FOCUS missionaries at my campus played a major role in bringing me back to Christ.
