Hello! I’m Anna, and I am excited to share this mission with you!

“It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain”

John 15:16

Where I serve

I currently serve at Kansas State University as a December grad hire while completing my bachelor’s degree in Educational Studies. This campus has been my home for the past three years and now serves as my mission field. I’m incredibly grateful that the Lord has given me the opportunity to share the Gospel and walk alongside women in a place where He has intentionally shaped and grown my faith. As I prepare to graduate in December 2025, I’m trusting God to lead me to a new campus where I can continue investing in the lives of college women, helping them know Jesus and follow Him as lifelong disciples.

My Story

Jesus has always been part of my life. I grew up knowing He was good and called us to live in that goodness, but I didn’t believe I was good. I thought love had to be earned, so I chased value through achievements, relationships, and my sorority. But no matter how much I did, it was never enough.

Still, God kept pursuing me. Going into my sophomore year of college, I had a powerful encounter with Jesus. In that moment of prayer, I realized I didn’t have to keep striving, what I’d been searching for was found in Him. That moment didn’t fix everything overnight, but it changed my direction. I started pursuing a real relationship with Jesus, and slowly, He replaced the lies with truth: I am loved, I belong, and I am enough, not because of what I do, but because of who He is.

During college, FOCUS missionaries walked with me and helped lead me to Christ through their presence and witness. Now, I get to do the same, walking with students and watching God work in their lives, just like He did in mine.

Your Impact

When I answered God’s call to join FOCUS, I made the decision to rely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners. I’m so grateful for those who walk alongside me. Walking with women toward Christ and reminding them they are deeply loved is my greatest joy. With your prayers and support, we can bring the Gospel to campuses and raise lifelong disciples. If you’d like to partner with me, please let me know the best way to reach you! I’d be honored to share this mission with you!
