Hey I’m Ashley! I am a first year FOCUS missionary at Bridgewater State University.
This year I get to serve at Bridgewater State University in Massachusetts! I’m so excited to hit the beach and the city this year with my students!
I grew up in a Catholic family that generously sent me to Catholic school where I was able to learn about the faith in Theology classes, Bible studies, and retreats. I always found comfort in having the Catholic faith being apart of my life, but it wasn’t exactly an important part of my life until I attended college at Grand Valley State University in Michigan. Every year of college I was personally poured into by a FOCUS missionary who met me where I was at with my faith and chose to walk with me there. It got to the point where I was given the choice and encouragement from my missionary to go out and lead other women in a Bible study and participate in outreach on campus. Through this experience I’ve got to witness the Lord working through me to reach others to want to make Christ the center of their lives, and I knew I wanted to give my full time to do that as a FOCUS missionary after college.
After years of being walked with by a FOCUS missionary, I’ve felt the Lord put the desire on my heart to do the same with other women after graduating college. My life has been changed by the support I have received from FOCUS missionaries and I’d love to share this life with more college students, so if you are interested in joining my support team in any way please message me because I would love to receive from you!
