New Year, New Team. (Hooks Up!) (Dylan, Bri, Mo, Me)

Let’s run it back! For my second year of mission, I have been called by Christ to continue this grace-filled journey walking along students at Seton Hall University in New Jersey. Last year was an absolute gift, and confirmation that the Lord was calling me to mission. With a new team, and deeper faith in The Holy Spirit and His mission, I am in a state of joyful anticipation as our upcoming fall semester cannot come soon enough!

 

My Story

I was born and raised into a Catholic household, going to mass every Sunday, and going to Catholic School from 1st through 8th grade. It wasn’t until the end of my high school career where I started to feel the Holy Spirit break down the doors to my hardened heart, as I felt the deepest form of love I have ever encountered. There was a deep yearning for something more in this life. As my college career started to take form, I began to spend more time at the Catholic Student Center (CSC) at the University of Maryland (Go Terps!). The Lord during this time, more than blessed me with many amazing male role models who deeply inspired me, and pushed me to take my faith even more seriously than I was before. As I took on more responsibility at the CSC, I began to feel a deep pull on my heart every time I stepped into the chapel for my holy hour. The Lord wanted more from me. He wanted me to give myself fully to him in such a major way; to let go of my own earthly desires and follow him. As the idea of joining FOCUS became a likely possibility, I felt a massive sense of peace, as it felt that the Lord has prepared my heart, mind and soul to not just bring others to Christ, but to bring Christ to others; to meet students where they are, create authentic friendships, and let them know they are loved. I am excited, and blessed to continue living out the life that Christ called me to.

Your Impact

From personal experience, and encounters I have had back home in Maryland, the world needs Christ now, more than ever. There is a deep interior loneliness that plagues college campuses all across America, as many students (like myself at one point) have deep desires to be loved that can only be fulfilled by Christ. As a FOCUS missionary, I have been given a responsibility to invite others on mission in a way that builds His Kingdom. I will be relying on financial support during my time with FOCUS, and I am more than excited to meet you as a mission partner! If you are interested in joining me on mission, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You can contact me via email, at [email protected] or by cell (443-757-4555)
