“You know well enough that our Lord does not look so much at the greatness of our actions, nor even at their difficulty, but at the love with which we do them.”

Where I serve

The Lord has called me to serve at Oklahoma State University! I am extremely excited to get on campus and start working! IMG 7461 (1)

My Story

I grew up in the Catholic faith and am extremely grateful to have been introduced to the faith at a young age. In high school, I became disconnected and stopped praying and going to mass. When I arrived at the University of Florida, I didn’t have a great idea of where I stood in my faith or what it was supposed to look like in college. I attended mass rarely and had little to no relationship with Christ. I struggled to find my identity in the college landscape and found that I was lost.

In my junior year, I met a FOCUS missionary that invited me to his bible study. Through bible study, discipleship, and growing in real friendship, I found what I had been missing. Through his guidance and encouragement, I rediscovered my faith and deeply encountered Christ. Since then, I have grown in my faith while walking beside him and have been honored to see so many amazing things come from this experience with a FOCUS missionary.

As a FOCUS missionary, I look forward to reaching young men and planting the seeds of faith so that they too may have an experience like the one I did.

“Too late did I love You, O Fairness, so ancient, and yet so new! Too late did I love You! For behold, You were within, and I without, and there did I seek You.” -St. Augustine

Your Impact

I am excited to serve as a FOCUS missionary at Oklahoma State University and to create meaningful relationships with the students there. This mission has had an immense impact on my life and I am grateful for the opportunity to meet students where they are and help them to grow in their faith.

However, I know that this is not something that can be done alone. In accepting this calling to be a FOCUS missionary, I have the opportunity to invite people to be mission partners and join me on this journey. I hope that in developing this group of mission partners, that I can foster true relationships with all of them and create a support group of prayer warriors.

In addition to your encouragement and prayers, I rely on the generosity of others to go out on mission and serve the students full-time. Inviting students to bible studies, mission trips, conferences, lunches, and so much more is only made possible through the support of people who feel called to support and invest in this mission.

I would be honored to have you join this support team and go out on mission with me! Together we can help students at Oklahoma State have a true encounter with Christ and grow in their faith!
