Christina Lara

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

Where I serve

God has called me to serve college students at the Lindenwood University. Go Lions! You’ll typically find me hanging out at the university caf , the Catholic Student Center, or high-fiving people around campus. 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

My freshman year of college, I searched for deeper meaning and purpose in life amidst the college culture. It wasn’t until I joined a Bible study and attended a retreat that I become open and receptive to where God was calling me. After discerning to take a step back from university and attending community college, my trust in the Lord grew because I knew He had a greater plan for my life. After placing radical trust in God’s plan for my life, I transferred and attended nursing school at Valparaiso University. During my time at Valpo, I was blessed to encounter Jesus through developing a prayer life, Bible studies, mission trips, retreats, and authentic Christ-centered friendships. Because FOCUS missionaries invested in me and my relationship with Jesus, I found joy living a life centered in Christ. God called me serve as a FOCUS missionary because I want to share with students the joy and hope of the Gospel!
