FOCUS Missions radically challenge staff and students to know Christ, serve His people, and build His kingdom.

Through Their Eyes...

"I've learned what's really important and what I want to dedicate my money and my time to. Everyday there is something in my life that reminds me of India and I realize that my whole perspective has been changed. I want to do something now because I know that I can." -Kristen Feldmann

"Now is the time in our lives when we can do things weÕre passionate about and take time to stop and listen to how God wants us to serve. A mission trip is a great opportunity to experience His love. The opportunity to go away and serve someone else and share what God has given me is the biggest thing." -Kyle Ludvik

"The trip showed me what the fullness of the faith means by living it out. I'd been seeking the faith through knowledge and learning but this was an actual experience of the faith where I could live it. The active experience was what made Catholicism real to me." -Jena McFadden

"The Camino de Santiago was not only a tough physical journey but was accompanied by an interior, often quite solitary, journey due to our devotion to prayer, silence, and the mass. This challenged me to face squarely my interior struggles with my faith - how I love Christ, how I love others, and how I love myself." -Chris Devlin

"I went because I really wanted to encounter Christ and experience a different culture. The trip has changed the way I go to Mass. When I go to Mass now there is a whole new meaning to the body of Christ, especially in the celebration of the Eucharist." -Katie Murray
