Where I serve

After 3 years of serving as a full-time missionary with FOCUS on a college campus (2 years at the University of Illinois-Chicago and 1 year at Illinois State University), the Lord has called me to continue living full-time mission as a FOCUS Parish Missionary at Queen of Apostles in Cincinnati, OH!

My Story

When I first joined FOCUS to become a missionary after graduating college at the University of Michigan, I was motivated by a desire to help other college students experience what I got a glimpse of during my own college life: a life lived in pursuit of holiness, in a loving community of shared life, with real friends, to fight the good fight of faith with together.

But the truth is that loneliness and apathy that I saw while working with students as a missionary on campus are not realities unique to just the college campus. People all across the world are crying out and are hungry– for greater purpose and meaning in their lives, for a true sense of identity and belief, and to be known, seen, heard, and loved. Too many people are searching for answers to big, important life questions in the wrong places and in the wrong things.

Having personally felt both the need that exists in the world, as well as the impact of the solution that is Jesus Christ and His Catholic Church, the mission and vision of FOCUS to “make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19) is something that I simply cannot ignore. I can’t help but to simply respond in Faith, Hope, and Love, to strive to share with others at least a glimpse of what I have received from God through Jesus Christ & His Church. That is what is meant to be a missionary disciple. Rescued people rescue people.

That is why I chose to become a FOCUS Parish Missionary.

Your Impact

“Some give to the mission by going out, others go out on mission by giving. Without both, there is no mission.” –Mother Teresa

This generation of Christians is responsible for reaching this generation of souls.

If the world needs missionaries, then the world also needs mission partners.

When I answered God’s call for me to join FOCUS as a full-time missionary, I made the decision to rely on the spiritual and financial support of Mission Partners to help me through this mission.

If you are interested in joining my team on God’s rescue mission to save souls, please let me know the best way to reach you and I will schedule an appointment. I’d be honored to share this mission with you! You can give me a call at (734) 756-4845 or email me at [email protected]
