We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
Hey! My name’s Amelie. I’m a FOCUS missionary at the Universities of Krems and St. Pölten.
I’m serving at the University of Krems and the St. Pölten University of Applied Science.
I grew up Catholic but lost my personal relationship to God during my early teenage years. After a previous encounter with him in prayer, it was in a FOCUS Bible Study during my studies at the University of Passau that Theresa, who now serves as a missionary at the campus in Düsseldorf, laid out the full extent of the gospel to me and that I could give a wholehearted “Yes” to Jesus’ invitation to become the very center of my life. Step by step I (re)discovered the treasures and beautiful teachings of his Church, especially in the sacraments of the Eucharist and Confession. As I grew closer in my relationship with Jesus and his Church so did my zeal for mission as I desired for others to be able to experience God in the same intimate and life-changing way I had before.
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.

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.
