How FOCUS impacted her life:

"My experience in FOCUS has taught me the meaning and importance of living a Christ-centered life and leaving your comfort zone to share the Gospel with those around you.  The formation I received while involved with FOCUS has given me the tools I need to live a more full life with Christ and to share Him with my family and friends." ~Kari Staples
