We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
Hey there! My name is Ryan. Thank you for visiting my support page. I became a FOCUS missionary to help share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with college students and would love for you to join me on this mission!
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God s will is his good, pleasing and perfect will ~ Romans 12:2
After two years serving at the Colorado School of Mines and San Diego State University, I am now serving my second year on the Digital Outreach Team! Jesus has transformed my life, and I’d love to share that with you—let’s talk!
Romans 12:2 captures both my journey and my calling as a missionary. Though raised Catholic, I spent years chasing success, approval, and fulfillment in academics and work, only to find myself restless and isolated. In college, a simple internet search led me to FOCUS, where I encountered a missionary who invested in me as a friend. That encounter—and an invitation to SEEK2019—helped me rediscover God’s presence and the power of authentic, virtuous friendships.
Balancing my faith and engineering career aspirations was difficult, but seeing missionaries before me surrender their plans to God—and thrive—helped me trust Him. In 2021, after much prayer, I said “yes” to becoming a FOCUS missionary. It has been the most challenging and rewarding decision of my life, proving that true fulfillment comes from following God’s will.
Today, my greatest joy is leading others to Christ, just as others led me. Jesus invested deeply in a few to change the world, and I strive to do the same, walking alongside students in their faith journey.
Family & Mission
In November 2023, I married my best friend, Abby, and in September 2024, we welcomed our beautiful daughter, Pia Lumen. Our growing family reminds me daily of God’s faithfulness and deepens my desire to serve others through this mission.
As a missionary, I rely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners. Your generosity allows me to serve and share Christ’s love with students searching for meaning. If you’d like to partner with me, I’d love to connect—please reach out!
