Emily Williams

Hi! My name is Emily and I’m a FOCUS missionary!

Where I serve

I am thrilled to serve as a missionary at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. Go Vols!!!

My Story

Growing up, I was blessed to be part of a family where faith was prioritized. I deeply encountered Jesus and grew in relationship with Him throughout high school. When I went to Clemson, I sought out Christian community and wanted to deepen my life in prayer. My junior year, I was connected with a FOCUS missionary who walked with me intentionally as I began to question a lot about my faith. She demonstrated the love of Christ to me and prayed for me as I learned more and more about who Jesus is and the life that He is calling each of us to live. My senior year of college, I became Catholic and have only grown more in love with Jesus as He continues to reveal Himself to me through the sacraments and life in prayer. I am on fire with how the Lord has worked in my heart and I know with full confidence that He wants to do the same with the women at UTK!!

Your Impact

My call to mission with FOCUS requires help from you! I have the privilege of being sent out by FOCUS to bring the Gospel to our students, but I could not do my job without you! Your spiritual and financial generosity are what allow us to do what we do. I am so excited to bring you on mission with me as we reach to college students at UTK!

If you are interested in supporting me, please let me know the best way I can reach you and I will set up an appointment. I would be honored to have you on my team!
