Sarah Hare

Hey! I am a FOCUS Missionary serving the Parish Operations team. This my seventh year and I am very excited to work at the Denver Support Center!

Where I serve

During my time in FOCUS I have been blessed with the opportunities to see lives changed on campus at the University of Mississippi and at large while working with the FOCUS Missions team through encounters with Jesus on mission trips. In Fall 2022 I moved out to the Denver Support center and joined the FOCUS Missions team. God asked great things of this team and of myself and He helped hundreds of students go on mission through my yes to serve Him. It has been a blessing to know and serve the poor through out our world. This coming year He has placed on my heart a desire to go back to the “front lines” and return to campus in a great capacity. In the Fall of 2024 I joined efforts to support the Bosco Project and Campus Outreach as the Team Director for the Auraria Campus, along side of 13 other teammates we had a memorable and life changing year. Moving into Fall of 2025 I am joining forces with the Parish Operations team to support the efforts of the Parish teams across the country, serving Priests and Parishioners of all ages. I am excited to do this with my family standing by my side!

My Story

As a missionary family, our greatest desire is to lead all people to Christ. 

James grew up in a strong Catholic home but practiced the bare minimum when he first went to college. “It wasn’t until a missionary named Josh reached out to me that I discovered the real depth of what the Catholic Church offers to every soul on earth. It wasn’t until I led my own Bible study that I learned I could share my faith with others, and it wasn’t until FOCUS offered me a job that I learned how I was called to give my whole life to Christ, with the special opportunity to give some of it to serve on the college campus.” 

Sarah’s life has been transformed by Jesus and she wants nothing more than to bring this joy to others and introduce them to the life-changing message of the Gospel. “In His ministry on earth, Jesus humbled Himself to meet us on our level, taking on our humanity, and spent most of His time investing deeply in a few. I look to Jesus own example to find the best method of reaching the world. I’ve been constantly amazed by the different souls I’ve encountered on campus. These encounters have led me to a deeper relationship with Jesus and have taught me to fully surrender my worries and anxieties and allow Him to help me carry my cross. It hasn’t always been easy, but it has led me to where I am today.” 

Now, as of Fall 2022, we are married! It is a joy to be a witness of the Catholic faith through our marriage and new family life in our community here in Denver. We have been ecstatic and welcomed a daughter August 2023 named Molly into God’s family here on earth and one more due at the end of July 2025! 

Your Impact

When we answered the call to join FOCUS, we made the decision to rely completely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners to help us through this mission. We’ve been blessed with the most amazing people who have journeyed with us as we served at Seton Hall, Ole Miss, Auraria Campus and now in Denver at the Support Center. If you are interested in standing behind us in the battle for souls on the college campus, please let us know the best way to reach you and we will schedule an appointment. We’d be honored to share this mission with you.
