We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
Hi there, welcome! My name is Julia- I’m a missionary at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln GO BIG RED!
God has called me to serve the college students at University of Nebraska in Lincoln, NE! I am overjoyed at the opportunity to encounter the young men and women that the Father brings to me during this adventure. Team UNL really is one, big, happy family! I have a pretty cool story about how the Lord has been transforming my little heart and my entire life– I would love to chat and share stories sometime!
I am a big fan of this team!
As a missionary, my greatest desire is to lead all students to Christ. My life has been transformed by Jesus and I want nothing more than to bring this joy to others and introduce them to the life-changing message of the Gospel.
I have been blessed to grow-up in a Catholic home and was able to attend Catholic school up until I attended Kansas State University. With that being said, it wasn’t until my years in college that I came to realize that relationship with Jesus is overfilled with mercy, freedom, beauty, and the joy of a intimacy with Him. It was in encountering deep friendships with our missionaries that I began to walk away from a life of people pleasing and being swept up by the culture of society, to then allow my heart to truly be pursued and won over by Jesus- Praise the Lamb!
In friendship with our missionaries, I was able to experience sacrificial love and witness the lives of people who were living freely in our culture. I wanted what they had and they invited me into it– because of their intentionality and the grace of God I accepted the invitation. I have become aware of the deep love the Father has for His children and I hope to love on college students in a way that their lives may also be touched by the invitation to His gaze!
When I answered the call to join FOCUS, I made the decision to rely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners to help me through this mission. I’ve been blessed with the most amazing people who have journeyed with me as I serve on campus. If you are interested in partnering with me, please let me know of the best way to reach you and I will schedule an appointment. I’d be honored 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.
