I will be moving closer to my hometown - to Bismarck, North Dakota to continue on staff with FOCUS as the new Team Director for the University of Mary. This brings me great joy to be closer to my family and to be asked to lead a team of missionaries. I have much to learn and grow in and am at peace with what God is calling me to be a part of mission there. As I wrapped up my time in Mankato with the many people I’ve met over the past two years, the end of the school year was filled with beautiful conversations and hope for their future. I am currently in Denver, Colorado, at team director training. Next week I’ll move my things back to Mandan before heading to Ave Maria, Florida for six weeks to be part of new staff training. I will be helping new and 2nd year missionaries from across the nation. There will be over 300 missionaries in one place, so I’m excited for the great experiences to be had there! Right after training I will be attending my Mankato teammate Andrew’s wedding in Texas before making my way back to North Dakota by mid-July. Then I’ll be preparing for the rest of my FOCUS team to arrive in August. What a great summer ahead! Students that went on a spring break mission trip to New Jersey. Sunday night Mass on campus is growing in attendance. As well as daily mass in the chapel. I had to sit on the floor one Wednesday night! To the right is the design for needed new newman center we are praying for. ◀

Peace to you this beautiful spring - I have news of my next placement! I will be moving closer to my hometown - to Bismarck, North Dakota to continue on staff with FOCUS as the new Team Director for the University of Mary. This brings me great joy to be closer to my family and to be asked to lead a team of missionaries. I have much to learn and grow in and am at peace with what God is calling me to be a part of mission there.
As I wrapped up my time in Mankato with the many people I’ve met over the past two years, the end of the school year was filled with beautiful conversations and hope for their future.
I am currently in Denver, Colorado, at team director training. Next week I’ll move my things back to Mandan before heading to Ave Maria, Florida for six weeks to be part of new staff training. I will be helping new and 2nd year missionaries from across the nation. There will be over 300 missionaries in one place, so I’m excited for the great experiences to be had there! Right after training I will be attending my Mankato teammate Andrew’s wedding in Texas before making my way back to North Dakota by mid-July. Then I’ll be preparing for the rest of my FOCUS team to arrive in August. What a great summer ahead!
Students that went on a spring break mission trip to New Jersey.
Sunday night Mass on campus is growing in attendance. As well as daily mass in the chapel. I had to sit on the floor one Wednesday night! To the right is the design for needed new newman center we are praying for.

I found I’ve grown so much in so many ways of life. I cannot express how I’ve been transformed as well as so many of the students here. It truly has been a blessed past two years and I know the mission will continue to grow and blossom. When I came to Mankato I inherited two of the young women shown here. God definitely had some plans for several more women to step forward in their faith to be disciples of

Christ. This is what spiritual multiplication is about! To answer Jesus’ call: “go therefore and make disciples of all nations” by inviting fellow college students into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church. And by inspiring and equipping them for a lifetime of Christ-centered Evangelization, Discipleship, and Friendship in which they lead others to do the same.
Semester Bible Studies:• 27 bible studies • 20 were student led
Student Missionaries:• 32 students in
discipleship• 14 women in
