We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
“For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.”
Matthew 6:21
The Lord has called me to Spearfish, South Dakota where I am excited to encounter the students at Black Hills State University.
I experienced God’s love for the first time while I was a student at South Dakota State University.
Before this encounter, I was seeking affirmation from things of this world and could not escape the feelings of emptiness and loneliness.
I was blessed when the FOCUS missionaries on my campus invited me to a retreat.
During a time of adoration, the Holy Spirit made His presence known to me. He revealed the lies that I was believing and the wounds they stemmed from. My heart was filled with joy; I felt seen, known, and loved for the first time.
Since then I have been growing closer to the Lord, and I want to share His love and joy with as many people as I can!
This is my first year as a FOCUS missionary.
I graduated from SDSU with a degree in Animal Science.
I would not be able to go on this mission without my mission partners’ financial and spiritual support.
You are giving sons and daughters opportunities to experience God’s love.
Thank you for your love!

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.
