‘May I never boast of anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world’

– Galatians 6:14.

My name is Griffin Burt and I am first year missionary at West Virginia University. Thank you for visiting my giving page!

Where I serve

I am a first year missionary at West Virginia University.  I will be leading bible studies, discipleship, and on-campus outreach events along side WVU’s campus ministry. Having been apart of Greek Life during my time in college, I blessed to be able to work with FOCUS Greek and fraternity outreach. I pray you are as eager as I am to see how the Holy Spirit will transformation the lives of these young men as the grow closer to our Lord Jesus Christ. IMG 0365

My Story

I grew up in Newtown, a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in a great family as a the oldest of three. Having attended Holy Ghost Preparatory School in Bensalem, I continued my Catholic education at Saint Francis University in Loretto, PA. There I graduated with a bachelor’s of science in both marketing and business management and was a proud member of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. My relationship with Jesus Christ grew drastically during my junior year of college. During Eucharistic Adoration at a FOCUS Father’s House retreat, I was so convicted of our Lord’s deep love for not only myself, but for those who carry the same crosses that I do. From that moment, my reversion truly began. After many prayers, Bible studies, and conversations with SFU missionary, Mark Weakland, and Seton Hall missionary, Dylan LaNoue, I accepted a position as a FOCUS missionary in the fall of my senior year. My life has been blessed with many great witnesses to our faith, and I hope to be that witness for the young men I encounter at West Virginia University!

 

Your Impact

John 6:68 states “Lord, to whom shall we go? For you alone have the words of eternal life”. Many young people today are lost in our modern world, and do not know where to turn. I know this because I was the same as them; lost, scared, and desperate for something more than what secular culture had to offer. By God’s grace, I was brought into a relationship with Jesus Christ which gave me true purpose, and many of those graces came through FOCUS missionaries. When I answered the call to join FOCUS, I made the decision to rely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners to join me on mission. Because of your financial support, I will be able to spread the Word of Our Lord to more young people like myself. I would be truly honored to have you on mission with me and will be praying for you!
