Andres Donovan

Hi! My name is Andres. I’m a FOCUS Missionary.

Where I serve

I have been called to serve at Brown University to bring Christ to its students. Chances are that you will probably find me hanging out at the BRCC, playing crossnet, and passionately defending Tampa sports teams. The Lord has done incredible things in my life and I would love to share those stories with you.

My Story

I’m a cradle Catholic who first encountered Christ in the Eucharist during a retreat in high school. I was blessed to have gone to Jesuit High School in Tampa, Florida. It was here that I first encountered our Lord in the Eucharist. From this initial encounter with the Lord, he continually brought people into my life to help bring me closer to Him.

This path eventually led me to Franciscan University where my passion for introducing young men to Jesus Christ was developed. It was at Franciscan University I came to a deeper appreciation for what it means to be a Son of God.

My hope is to help other young men live in their identity as Sons of God. What I have found is that when a man lives as a Son of God, he begins to realize who he really is and starts living from that place. He steps up in leadership, he fights for truth, and he strives for virtue. At the end of the day, discipleship leads us to live in our identities as children of God because we model ourselves after the Master, the Son of God.

During His earthly ministry, Jesus humbled Himself to connect with us on our level by taking on our humanity and dedicating much of His time to deeply investing in a few individuals. I follow Jesus’ example to discover the most effective way to reach the world. EFD7C80B 99B5 4A42 96BD E536F14AC0A6

When I answered the call to join FOCUS, I decided 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.
