We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.

David Carpenter
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
- Theodore Roosevelt
My Story
In my junior year of college, I had a profound encounter with God, and I desired to conform my life to Christ. A FOCUS missionary at the University of Oklahoma walked with me in discipleship, led me in Bible study, and soon my love for Jesus became the center of my life. Now I will be sharing that same love for Jesus Christ with students at the University of Memphis!
Your Impact
You can help shape the lives of these students, too! Not all of us are called to go out evangelize this way, but we can all support the building of God’s Kingdom. Mission partners are side-by-side, in spirit, with missionaries, equipping us with the resources to build God’s Kingdom and the prayers, support, and love that push us to reach as many souls as possible!
I pray that our students have a true model of Christian charity that will propel them into the world, not feeling restricted by finances, but trusting that God will always provide for them. If you are interested in partnering with me on this journey, please let me know the best way to reach you, and I would love to set up an appointment with you!
