Hello friends! I’m Jeremiah and I serve at the University of California, Irvine. Zot Zot!

Even though I was born and raised Catholic, there were always things that were more important to my life than my faith. Whether it was competitive soccer and my social status in high school or fraternity life and academic success in college, my faith took a backseat while I let other activities drive my life.

It wasn’t until my sophomore year at the University of Washington (Go Dawgs!) when the COVID quarantines hit that I started asking the deeper questions in life, like what was I made for and what do I truly desire in life? This search took me to the Catholic faith of my childhood, which I started to dive deeper into through scripture, research, and prayer. God worked through these small openings and showed me His love, as well as my sole-identity as His beloved son. Through the help of true, virtuous friends, particularly through FOCUS, I received an abundance of guidance and the realization that my core desire in life, the one ingrained in my heart, is for Him. That true life comes not from the other priorities in my life, but from the life of Jesus Christ (John 10:10). I became a FOCUS Missionary to help others tap into this desire and invite them into this life. The life that is an adventure to our Lord in Heaven.

These past two years as a FOCUS Missionary have transformed my heart in so many ways. I have become so convicted of this mission to create disciples of Jesus. That our world can truly be transformed if we live deeper in our desires for God. This transformation cannot be possible without the prayerful and financial support from others, who are just as important to this mission as I am. If you are interested in joining this mission with me through prayerful and financial support, please reach out. I’d be honored to go on mission with you.
