Where I serve

I am proud to be serving the students at Bridgewater State University in Bridgewater Massachusetts!

My Story

Growing up in rural New York, in a place where the Catholic faith is hurting, I found myself lost and lacking in faith. I randomly decided to attend Belmont Abbey College in Belmont N.C. in the fall of 2021.

On the very first day of orientation I met a Focus missionary named Jake who invited me to come to Bible study. It wasn’t long after I attended that I began asking the big questions; is God real? Does he love me? Does going to church matter?

Through prayer, education, and friendship, I found the answer to these crucial questions. By senior year I was leading my own Bible study and helping lead other students in Spiritual formation.

Before graduation I was invited to a Focus interview weekend by Quinn, another Focus missionary. I was hesitant to work in ministry but after praying about it I felt a great peace, a peace telling me to say yes.

Your Impact

If not you, then who? This simple phrase, echoed throughout history, has had a profound effect on men and women who have made a difference. These are the words that led me to Focus and the same words that hopefully will lead to your support.

In a world where 80% of people who lose their faith do so before the age of 25. It’s crucial that men and women go forward to bring every soul the joy they deserve, to tell them that they are loved, and walk with them in truth. By donating you are joining a great crusade, helping people find themselves, before they take the steps that lead to years of loneliness, drug addiction, abuse, and neglect. We aren’t counselors or therapists, we’re missionaries, bringing people to Jesus Christ through love.

What does that mean? It means that your monetary donation will be supporting me on my mission as I walk with university students. Together we will be able to provide events, Bible studies, and mission trips for students. With your support I believe we can change the world, one student at a time!
