We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
“There is but one thing to be done here below: to love Jesus, and to save souls for Him that He may be more loved.”
– St. Thérèse of Lisieux
After graduating from the University of Florida in 2023, the Lord called me to serve Him as a full-time FOCUS missionary. I had so many other plans for my life and I truly could’ve never imagined being a missionary. But with time, I’ve learned that the story that God is writing with my life and the adventure that He is leading me through is far greater. I have a pretty beautiful story about how Jesus has changed my life – I’d love to share it with you sometime. It has been my life’s joy to surrender everything to Jesus Christ and answer the call to mission.
This is my 2nd year at the College of Charleston. I have the privilege of serving as a Greek Missionary which means I minister primarily to women in sororities on campus. It has been such a gift to walk with students learning with them and running towards Christ side-by-side.
Our team is 4, and this is one of my teammates Jenna!
People often ask me why I am a missionary and why I said yes to mission on the college campus.
Here’s the short answer – this is how God is calling me to lay down my life for souls. We are in a battle for an entire generation of souls and this is where I am being called to fight. We live in a fallen world, yet too few people know that Jesus Christ is the source of our hope.
College is a time when young people make some of the biggest decisions of their lives – what career they will have, who they want to become, what they are passionate about, and whether or not they will live a life of faith. For me, the start of college was an especially challenging time and it was in that season of turmoil that I met God. Through friendship with faithful peers and FOCUS missionaries, I came to know that Jesus Christ is a personal God who desires relationship with me. I learned that our suffering holds merit and that Jesus is incapable of forsaking us. The more I came to know Jesus, the more I fell in love with His Church and desired to be on mission for the whole world.
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. Thank you for considering joining me in the mission of sharing the Gospel with students. Your support, both financial and prayerful, will impact the lives of countless students who are seeking to understand who they are and what they believe at this pivotal time in their lives. Through your generosity, I will be able to encounter these students with Truth, the Truth that is Jesus Christ Himself.
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. You can reach me personally either by phone (561) 379-8038 or through email at [email protected].
