We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
Hi Hello! My name’s Darien and I’m a FOCUS Missionary.
Servus Mariae Nunquam Peribit
God has called me to serve the students at the University of Illinois – Chicago! You’ll typically find me hanging out at the Newman, grabbing a coffee or exploring the windy city. I have a pretty cool story about how Jesus has changed my life through encounter with His Mother. Come find me and I’d love to share it with you!
Here is the team I’ll have the privilege of serving with this school year!
The Lord has placed in my heart the desire to let every soul know how absolutely necessary and intimately important they are to the fulfillment of God s plan for the world. I think that the moment that you recognize that you are needed, that you are not dispensable, is the moment that you are able to find a home in the church, because you are the church. I said yes to FOCUS because its mission is rooted in this very essence; bearing Christ to everyone we encounter and then inviting them to do the same.
As a missionary, I ll get to walk alongside other college students into deeper encounter with our Lord through the truth of His Gospel and through relationship, ultimately equipping them to become living witnesses of Christ and His Mother in the world.
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. 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 we can schedule an appointment! I’d be honored to share this mission with you.
You can give me a call at 956-789-8478 or email me at [email protected]
We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
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.
