Our Story

Following Jesus transformed my life. I found true happiness, I found real joy, and I found my purpose. My goal as a missionary is to walk with others so that they know Jesus. Not that they just go to mass on Sunday, but that Jesus wants a real relationship with them. He wants to heal them of their wounds, he wants to spend time with them in prayer, and he wants them to be happy… even if that requires some sacrifice of some worldly things on their end.

Imagine a world where college students are packing into churches for mass. Imagine your home parish being filled with people who are on fire for Christ. Imagine the impact of someone’s life being completely transformed through Christ. This is our mission, that people know Jesus Christ and him crucified, that they come to know him, and that they share him with others.

Your Impact

When I answered the call to join FOCUS, I knew that I couldn’t be on this mission alone. It is through spiritual and financial support from mission partners like you that the love of Christ can be shared with those who most need to hear it. This is where you come in! 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 be honored to share this mission with you!

You can reach me at 712.305.5426 or at [email protected]

“Some give by going to the missions. Others go by giving to the missions. Without both, there are no missions.”

– Saint John Paul II
