We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
God has called me in a particular way to serve college students! I am a second-year missionary and will be serving at Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana! I am excited to move to a new campus for my second year on mission and to continue to share the Gospel with students. My first year was full of watching the Lord transform my student’s hearts, beautiful encounters with Jesus, adventures all over the country, and immense surrender. Jesus drastically changed my life during my time in college and continues to now; I would love to share more about my story with you!
Montana State University 2023-2024: (l-r) Jeff, Jess, Gabrielle & Ryan!
As a missionary, my greatest desire is to lead people to a deep and personal relationship with Christ so they may know they are seen, known, and loved always by God. My life has been transformed by Jesus, especially during my time in college, and I want to bring this joy to others and introduce them to the life-changing message of the Gospel. Throughout my years at Colorado School of Mines, I was able to encounter Christ more and more through true virtuous friends, the sacraments, specifically daily mass and confession, the missionaries on campus who taught me about prayer and scripture, and many others like the Catholic community at Mines and the religious communities around Colorado who are constant witnesses to Christ’s love. I was blessed to go on many retreats and attend many conferences, be part of many bible studies, and, most importantly, spend lots of time with Jesus and others who want to help me on the path to Heaven. In His ministry on earth, Jesus humbled Himself to meet us where we are, take on our humanity, and spent most of His time investing deeply in a few. I hope to follow Jesus’ example to reach the world through friendship, formation, and the sacraments the same way I was invested in. Jesus wants to have a personal and intimate relationship with each of us, and I hope to lead people to this relationship during my time as a FOCUS missionary and for many years after!
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 so far, and I can’t wait to invite more people into Christ’s mission. If you are interested in partnering with me, please let me know of the best way to reach you, and I will schedule an appointment! I’d love to and would be honored to share this mission with you.
