Connor & Gabrielle Gorton

Hello! My name’s Connor. I’m a 3rd-year FOCUS missionary.

Where We serve

This year God has called me to return to our Alma Mater Iowa State University as the Team Director. Gabi and I are so excited to serve the Cyclones! Previously, God has called me to serve college students at Indiana University, for the last two years. You’ll typically find me hanging out at the Newman Center, playing spike ball on campus, grabbing lunch with some guys on the football and wrestling teams, or sharing life with students on the disc golf course.

Our Story

As a missionary, my greatest desire is to lead students to Christ. Early on in my college journey, my life was transformed by Jesus and continues to be each day. In college, I was accompanied by a missionary who helped me continue to grow and deepen my own faith. This has led me to desire the same for other college students and have a personal and powerful impact on the lives of students and share Jesus Christ with them. In college we were blessed to see a holy marriage lived out by a missionary couple, it has been a great blessing to share our own married life and growing family with the students at Indiana.

Your Impact

When I answered the call to join FOCUS, I made the decision to rely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners to help me through this mission. Relying on the support of others will allow me to reach as many students as possible during my time on campus. I’ve been blessed with the most amazing people throughout my life that have supported me on this journey. If you are interested in partnering with me, please let me know the best way to reach you and I will schedule an appointment. I’d be honored to share this mission with you.
