Where I serve

Hey there! I currently work as a missionary at Queen’s University Belfast, Northern Ireland. I’m tremendously grateful for this opportunity; let’s be on this journey together!

My Story

God encountered me at a surprising place: at the University of Oxford, England during a Summer study abroad term in 2023.

Despite being raised Roman Catholic, I had no desire to be a part of His Church. Upon entering James Madison University, I decided to renounce the faith, claiming it to be a mere human ideology.

During abroad, a question of morality suddenly appeared in my mind which weighed heavily on my heart, thus I decided to go workout one day at a little gym. Then, someone came up to me and said, “Hey! How many sets do you have on the bench-press?”. I responded, “Oh, I just started, but you can work in with me if you want.”

If this exchange did not happen, I don’t think I would ever return to Jesus, nor become a FOCUS missionary.

This simple encounter embarked a journey of returning home to Christ’s Church. Because of this, I hope to do what my beloved friend has done for me, to lead souls to the way, truth, and the life of Jesus Christ.
