We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
Hi! My name is Olivia. I’m a FOCUS missionary.
“I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”
John 10:10
I was raised Catholic, but I didn’t begin actively practicing my faith until college. At Creighton University, I was invited to a Bible study that introduced me to the beauty of the Catholic faith and helped me understand what it truly means to be Catholic and live life with Christ. Thanks to local missionaries, Jesuits on campus, and numerous friends, I was encouraged to develop a relationship with the Lord and receive the sacraments frequently. I also attended a Summer Projects in Charleston, SC which further strengthened my faith and gave me a taste of life as a missionary. As my senior year continued, I knew I wanted to continue growing in my relationship with the Lord and walking alongside others. During the application and interview process with FOCUS, the Lord drew me closer to Him and gave me the opportunity to say “yes” to mission as a missionary. As a missionary, I hope to live out the fulness of the Catholic faith and share it with others so that all might know Him and His abundance!
Part of my “yes” to FOCUS is to rely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners. If you are interesting in joining me on mission, please contact me! I would love to connect with you and invite you to join me in supporting this mission. I’d be honored to share this mission with you.
