We only have this life to live by faith.

Where I serve

I am serving at Columbia University as a full-time missionary. My role is to be a friend to every student I meet and a living example of the love of Christ. Together, my team of missionaries leads Bible studies, meets with students for one-on-one discipleship, supports the local parish, and build authentic Christian community.

Your prayers and support keep the beacon of hope alight for everyone on campus!

My Story

God met me as a lonely college student searching for meaning. He showed me His love and mercy when I needed it most. This moment forever altered the course of my life.

He awakened a desire in me to make His love known to others. In 2025, I left my full-time job to become a FOCUS missionary. Now, I have the privilege of sharing with college students what I was looking for all along: the unconditional love of their heavenly Father.

Your Impact

Any act of love, no matter how small, has an eternal impact.

It is the hidden sacrifices of everyday people that change the world. The strength of a missionary lies in the prayer and support of mission partners like you who share the desire to change the world. Every prayer, every gift moves souls closer to heaven.

Together, we can introduce college students to the heart of God. We have nothing to lose, and everything to gain! Are you in?
