Hi, my name is Sarah Lumpa, and I am a FOCUS Missionary!

For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ~ Jeremiah 29:11

Where I serve

God has called me to serve my first year as a missionary at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Go Mountain Hawks! I am excited to work alongside my teammates, share the gospel, and help students grow in their faith.

My Story

I grew up attending Sunday mass in the Catholic Church, going to a Catholic school K-12. My faith was a part of my life, but it was never the center of my life. Coming into college at the University of Iowa, I was continually getting pulled into things at the Newman Catholic Student Center. At SEEK23, which is a national catholic conference put on by FOCUS, I had an overwhelming feeling on the night of adoration that I not only wanted but needed to have my faith as the center of my life. 

I decided to apply for FOCUS in September 2024, and God called me to say yes to the offer in December 2024, after experiencing an overwhelming sense of peace following my phone call. I chose to say yes because I wanted to make a difference in the lives of college students and see them encounter the love of Jesus. I believe this is an amazing way to do just that. 

Your Impact

Answering God’s call to work as a full-time FOCUS missionary, I also decided to fundraise my salary with the spiritual and financial support of mission partners.
