We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
Hey! My name’s Colton. I’m a FOCUS missionary.
“No believer in Christ, no institution of the Church can avoid this supreme duty: to proclaim Christ to all peoples.” – St. John Paul II
God has called me to serve college students as the Team Director at the University of Montana! Go Griz! I have a pretty cool story about how Jesus has changed my life — I think you should hear it!
In my sophomore year of college, Jesus sent me a friend. This man invited me into his life in a radical way, introduced me to Jesus, and challenged me to grow in virtue, faith, and love.
For the first time in my life, I knew a personal relationship with Jesus was possible and I knew He wanted me close to Him! In order to make room for Him, I had to live differently. I made Jesus the center of my life, and it has been transformed ever since!
Now it’s my turn to share this love and live radically with others on campus!
In His ministry on earth, Jesus humbled Himself to meet us on our level, taking on our humanity, and spent most of His time investing deeply in a few. I look to Jesus’ own example to find the best method of reaching the world.
Jesus invites you and me to live as His disciples daily and to bring others to “come and see” (John 1:39) the new life He offers. He wants His children to come home to Him! A great tragedy today is that few hear and accept His invitation.
Because Jesus is so great, He sends His children to proclaim His invitation and “make disciples of all nations…” (Matthew 28:19) so that all peoples can come home to Him. Will you join me so that together we can share this great news?
When I answered the call to join FOCUS, I made the decision to trust in 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!

By building genuine friendships, we meet students on a deeper level.
We teach students how to share the gospel, who in turn teach other students how to pass it on.
