We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
Hello! My name is Juan Pablo, and I’m a FOCUS Missionary at North Central College and Elmhurst University.
The Lord has sent me on mission with FOCUS to Naperville, Illinois, where I will serve my first year on mission at North Central College and Elmhurst University. I’m excited to see what He has in store for this year, and I am so grateful that I get to dedicate my life to sharing the Gospel and bringing young men closer to Jesus Christ. The Lord has called me on an amazing adventure, and I can’t wait to go to campus and bring the Good News to those dying to hear it.
As Ryan, one of my best friends, said: “Once you experience the Love of Christ, you don’t want to do anything but share it.” I think of those words every day, and I am reminded of how amazing God has been in my life. The Lord transformed my existence from pain and despair to a life of hope and joy. I want everyone in the world to experience that transformation, and I’m willing to give years of my life for it to happen to at least a few people. I’d love to share my story with you so you understand how much this means to me.
I answered the call to join FOCUS because it was the most worthwhile thing I could do with my life, to bring the Love of Christ to campus where so many are thirsting for it. By saying yes to FOCUS, I decided to rely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners whose generosity will allow me to go on mission. The Lord has blessed me with amazing people who have joined me in this effort to bring Christ into the lives of many. If you want to join this mission, let me know the best way to reach you. I can’t wait to share this mission with you.

By building genuine friendships, we meet students on a deeper level.
We teach students how to share the gospel, who in turn teach other students how to pass it on.
