I’m Tori! I’m a FOCUS missionary serving our National Events Team planning and implement countless opportunities for encounters with Christ each year!
“The nation doesn’t simply need what we have. It needs what we are.” St. Edith Stein
After a serving a few years on various campuses, the Lord has called me into a deeper service of the mission of FOCUS on our national team. I am beyond honored to share this role with you as I learn more and more each day what Christ calls us to as servant leaders!
We see it time and time again, that any time spent away from the noise of our daily lives allows us to better tune into what the Lord is doing in our hearts. Through FOCUS’ events thousands have come to encounter Christ in a deeper way and are being sent back to their campuses on fire with the Love of God and the ability to share Him with those they encounter each day.
We help facilitate encounters with Christ through planning our national conferences, New Staff Training and many other events throughout the year. This past February, our team hosted SEEK22, where thousands gathered at various locations around the country to encounter the heart of the Gospel.
What’s Coming Up:
You are called. Our team, along so many others, are excited and preparing for
St. Louis, MO (focus.org)” target=”_blank”>SEEK23, which will be hosted in St. Louis from January 2 to 6, 2023. It is our hope that people will be inspired and equipped to speak the Truth with conviction and receive the encouragement and training needed to become the missionary disciple we are all made to be. I hope you’ll consider joining us in St Louis! We are building out our track for non-student attendees so you too can have an opportunity to encounter Christ! (And see what all this stuff I keep telling you is really about!) My Story
As a missionary, my greatest desire is to lead all students to Christ. In college, my life was transformed when I was introduces to a personal relationship with Jesus. In His humanity, Jesus humbled Himself to meet me on my level. He loved me where I was at, but also helped me realize I was made for more than the world was telling me. The Lord knew I needed support in the journey and surrounded me with a group of women (in Bible study) who were also realizing their identity in Christ, striving to serve Him fully, and who desired to authentically share their journeys with each other. These women have become my best friends because they constantly point me back to Jesus. Through these women, and many other souls I encountered on campus and abroad, the Lord revealed His plan for me to cooperate in overcoming the spiritual building up His kingdom on earth. I am extremely passionate about helping women recognize their dignity and femininity in the eyes of the Lord, and am honored to do so by following Jesus’ own example of investing deeply in a few and sending them out to do the same.
We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
By building genuine friendships, we meet students on a deeper level.
We teach students how to share the gospel, who in turn teach other students how to pass it on.
