James Beloff

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38-39

This is my amazing team! From left to right John, Dina, Alessandro, myself, Kofi, Cayna, Mary, and our chaplain Father Farrell. I am so excited to see the ways God is going to work in the lives of the students, my teammates, and I at GMU.

Please pray for our team, our chaplain Father Farrell, and for the ongoing conversion of souls at George Mason.

Standing next to me is my fiancée Nicole who will be serving at the United States Naval Academy this upcoming year!

My Story

I truly encountered Jesus for the first time during my time in college at Seton Hall University. Go Pirates! I had everything yet I was so lonely. I sought fulfillment in all of the places that many college students turn to. I began to go to Mass for the first time with now one of my best friends (who would go on to get baptized). Jesus began slowly walking with me and I would eventually enter OCIA where I was fully received into the Catholic church in 2023 by receiving Confirmation and first Communion.

My life then radically changed when I began praying the Rosary and spending time in Eucharistic adoration. I began to lead Bible studies and small groups at Seton Hall which was amazing. I then went on to work as a nurse for a year after graduation but have now answered the call to serve college students and help them deepen their relationship with Jesus. I joined FOCUS with my fiancée Nicole who will be serving at The Naval Academy this year. We will be getting married April 10th, 2027!

I would love to tell you more about my conversion and the ways Jesus has radically changed my life. Don’t hesitate to reach out to me!

Your Impact

When I answered the call to serve as a FOCUS missionary, I said yes to relying on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners to help me through this mission of having all people encounter Jesus and his love. As missionaries we have a great privilege of walking with students on their journey toward Jesus.

Although not everyone can move to a college campus to do this directly, supporting the mission and making it possible for me to reach students is just as important! If you are interested in partnering with me, please let me know the best way to reach you and I will schedule an appointment. I would be honored to share this mission with you.
