Collin and Alexandra Likover

Missionaries in Tampa, Florida

Hello! We are Collin and Alexandra Likover and we, alongside our kids Josephine, Charles, Dominic, and Katherine serve as missionaries. Jesus Christ changed our lives in college forever and now we want the whole world to know about Him. It would be a privilege to have you join our family in this adventure!

Where We serve

God has called our family to serve college students. Together we are a stronger force for Christ on campus than separately. St. John Chrysostom preached, “The love of husband and wife is the force that welds society together.” While it is a great sacrifice for us to be a family on mission, we are deeply convicted of the urgency of this mission and the need for college students to both encounter Jesus Christ and have the example of a family pursuing the Lord together.

Collin is going into his 9th year on staff and will be serving this coming year as Team Director at Christ the King Parish in Tampa. As Team Director, Collin is in charge of spearheading the mission charge wherever we are sent. He will be aiming to reach the entire parish boundary (approximately 40,000 – 50,000 souls) for Jesus Christ. Alex’s roles have increased since welcoming Josephine, Charles, Dominic, and Charles to the family. She leads both students and local mothers in bible studies and invests in women’s community as a mother. She plays a big part in the mission in making it possible to invite people into our family life through hospitality and events. Christ the King is an expansion location for FOCUS, so we have been tasked with starting a new FOCUS program there. Collin remains involved at the University of Tampa, since he was tasked with starting UT Catholic from the ground up in his last assignment.

Your Impact

Our family has said yes to following Jesus Christ in a radical way by being full time missionaries. Part of this involved putting our career aspirations on hold, so now our family relies on the spiritual and financial support of generous mission partners in order for us to provide for our family and serve God. As missionaries we fundraise the entire mission budget for UT Catholic as well as our family’s salary. So far in our 6 years as missionaries, fundraising has been one of the most tangible ways God has shown his faithfulness to us. If this mission or our family inspires you in any way, we want to talk to you! Please reach out to us personally either by phone (713) 248-7624 or through email at [email protected]. It would be a privilege to have you partner with us in this life-changing mission!
