Where I serve

God has called me to serve college students at the University of Oklahoma! This will be my second year on mission, and I’m honored to serve with the amazing team you see below!IMG 4602

My Story

I grew up a cradle Catholic, actively involved in church activities, but my faith often felt like something I simply inherited rather than personally owned. In college, a FOCUS missionary invited me into Bible study and discipleship, which sparked a deeper desire to grow spiritually. However, balancing faith with the demands of school was a constant challenge. During a difficult season of closed doors in my engineering job search, I attended a church conference called SEEK that helped me renew my trust in God. That moment of surrender led me to commit to daily prayer and eventually respond to God’s call to serve as a FOCUS missionary, discovering the freedom and purpose that come from following His plan.

God is challenging me to surrender everything to Him, despite uncertainties about funding, placement, and requirements, which make it hard to find security and control. He is calling me to ministry, specifically to share the gospel with college students, even though there’s no guarantee the message will be received well. Through these challenges, I believe God’s vision for me is to trust Him completely and share the gospel faithfully.
