Abigail Southworth

Hey! My name’s Abigail. I’m a FOCUS missionary.

Where I serve

God has called me to serve college students at the University of Mary for a third year. You’ll typically find me reading a good fantasy book, painting, going on long walks, or doing monologues in front of my friends. I have a pretty cool story about how Jesus has changed my life — I think you should hear it sometime! Come find me and I’d love to share it with you. 🙂

My Story

As an actress, I am always encountering stories. At one time, I believed my story would never be better than the character I was playing. However, my life has been completely transformed by Jesus beckoning me to follow Him as the Good King of my heart and the Good Shepherd of my soul. My life has been utterly transformed by the story of the gospel and how I fit into that story. As a missionary, my greatest desire is to lead all students to Christ, and for them to know the greatest love story ever told which is the gospel. Jesus has called me intimately to be a disciple for souls who do not know the bigger story, to bring hope and joy that they may be worthy of such a love and such an adventure.

“Life with Christ is a wonderful adventure.” – St. John Paul II

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 partnering with me, please let me know of the best way to reach you and I will schedule an appointment. I’d be honored to share this mission with you.
