We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
Hey! My name is Will Koppi and I serve as a missionary for FOCUS!
“Let us go forward in peace, our eyes upon Heaven, the only one goal of our labors”- St. Thérèse of Lisieux
I serve at the University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota. I work with all of the Male athletes on campus, helping them grow in their faith!
Growing up in a Catholic family, I knew the basics of the Church, but failed to make it a priority in my life. Once I got to college at Minnesota State University-Mankato, I quickly got involved in a Bible study, and with the help of some great missionaries and fellowship, was invited to a greater call to make Jesus the center of my life and to put my identity in being a beloved son of the Father, not just as a student-athlete. Encountering the true beauty of the Catholic faith through the Newman Center was life-changing, and the genuine and authentic friendships I have made have been Amazing!
Since then, every “yes” that I have given to God, he has abundantly blessed me and shown me the true beauty of life. Jesus continues to keep calling me to conform to him everyday and to invite others to share in his wonderful plan for humanity!
When I answered the call to join FOCUS, I made the decision to rely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners to help me through this mission. I’ve been blessed with the most amazing people who have journeyed with me as I serve on campus. If you are interested in partnering with me, please let me know of the best way to reach you and I will schedule an appointment. I’d be honored to share this mission with you.
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.
