Sydney Ebin

I fell hopelessly in love with the greatest lover of all time, the King of the Universe and my Savior, Jesus Christ. As I continue to fall more in love with Jesus, I am also joyfully awaiting the sacrament of marriage with my sweet fiancé, Jhon. I delight in gratitude for the opportunity to share this love with students on college campuses full time and invite them into a deeper relationship with Jesus. I ask for your help in making it possible for me to give this gift of my life and talents to the mission of FOCUS, “To know Christ Jesus and fulfill his Great Commission.”

Where I serve

I am currently serving as a first-year missionary in Worcester, MA with my wonderful team. Our team has a unique opportunity to be raising up missionary disciples multiple different campuses across the Worcester diocese including Worcester State University, Quinsigamond Community College, Clark University, Holy Cross College, Assumption University, and Fitchburg State.

My Story

I grew up a cradle catholic and went to catholic grade school but was never fully invested in my faith life. I had a pretty rough middle school and high school chasing things that did not satisfy to try to fill a gaping God-sized hole in my heart. Shortly after high school, I fell in love with Jesus and realized the magnitude of his CRAZY LOVE for me. The love I was able to receive from him filled this gaping God-sized hole in my heart until the only natural overflow was onto others. I greatly desired to share the great joy and peace that I had found in calling Jesus my Lord and my Love.

I encountered a FOCUS missionary my last semester of college and she told me what she did with her life. I was filled with disbelief that someone could live their life with their primary goal to love God and others full time and it was a deeply attractive lifestyle to me. I graduated spring of 2024 and ended up on a FOCUS mission trip to Argentina and it changed my life. Going to another country and experiencing their culture actually made me realize how spiritually poor The United States is and how badly we need mission in our own country. Shortly after returning from the mission trip, I applied to be a FOCUS missionary and give my life to Jesus and haven’t looked back since.

I am now joyfully serving on mission in Worcester and awaiting the sacrament of marriage with my beloved Jhon in May. I look forward to seeing the ways he uses our vocation to reach students who need an example of a Christ-centered marriage in their lives.
