“We are excited to bring SEEK25 to Salt Lake City and Washington, D.C. this January. SEEK is more than just an event—it’s an invitation for people from all walks of life to encounter Jesus Christ in a deeply personal way,” Curtis Martin, founder of FOCUS stated. “It’s a chance for each person to strengthen their faith, connect with others, build community, and be empowered to share the love of Christ with the world. As we come together in prayer, faith, and fellowship, we are reminded that the mission of evangelization is for everyone, and SEEK helps reignite our passion for living and spreading the Gospel,” Martin concluded.
