Hey! My name’s Colton. I’m a FOCUS missionary.
“We musn’t squander this period of the world’s history which God has entrusted to each one of us.” – St. Josemaria Escriva
God has called me to serve college students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln! Go Big Red! 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 🙂
As a missionary and son of God, my greatest desire is to lead all people to know Christ’s love for them. My life has been transformed by Jesus and I want nothing more than to bring this joy to others and introduce them to the life-changing message of the Gospel. 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. I’m amazed by the unique souls I encounter on campus, their stories, and their desire for joy and intimacy with Christ.
Jesus invites us 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 understand and accept His invitation. But, because Jesus is so great, He’s entrusted this rescue mission to me and my incredible team as we serve the students at UNL. Please pray for us!
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.
