We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
“Being Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction.”
-Pope BENEDICT XVI
I’m grateful to serve on the Philanthropy Team at FOCUS, where I get to work with generous supporters across the country who make our missionary efforts possible.
This is my ninth year with FOCUS, and it’s been a true privilege. I spent three years on campus at UC Santa Barbara as both a missionary and team director, followed by two years serving nationally on our Alumni team. Now, I’m honored to continue the mission by building relationships with those who share a heart for evangelization and the Church.
The summer following my high school graduation marked a significant turning point in my life when my faith became tangible and deeply meaningful. It was during this time of silence and introspection that I experienced a powerful encounter with the Lord, sparking an ongoing adventure that continues to unfold.
During my college years, I discerned a calling to become a missionary. This deep sense of purpose ultimately led me to join FOCUS, where I am privileged to serve as a missionary. I have the incredible opportunity to extend invitations to individuals, inviting them into a dynamic and deepening relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church.
When I answered the call to join FOCUS, I made the decision to rely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners. The mission of FOCUS would not be possible without the generous giving of our mission supporters. Thank you for your consideration and may God bless your generosity!
