Where I serve

In His Great Commission, Jesus Christ tells His followers to “go and make disciples of all nations.” This year, I will be responding to this command as a Greek missionary at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana!

My Story

Growing up, I had always loved the gospel and the story of Jesus Christ. However, I often found it difficult to live an imitative lifestyle. I would attend church occasionally and read my bible when I found time, but I was not truly devoted to being a disciple of Christ.

My freshman year at Auburn, I became enthralled with college party culture, halting the already dwindling relationship I had with the Lord. The deeper I sank into this lifestyle, the lonelier I felt. At some point in the year, while attending a history class, I became interested in the history of the Church and began to read about the beliefs and teachings of the early Christians. Over the next few months, I encountered people whose lives had been changed through FOCUS’s mission. Eventually, I decided to reach out to one of my campus’s missionaries. In the following months, my missionary led me through OCIA, bible studies, and eventually sponsored me as I was confirmed in the Holy Catholic Church.

Being walked with in intentional friendship completely changed my life. As a missionary, I want to extend this same gift to the students at Louisiana State University.
