Twenty plus years ago a college student came to know and love Jesus Christ through the efforts of Campus Crusades for Christ. Men invested into his life and truly helped him understand what a Christian fellowship was all about. Later converting to the Catholic faith, this former student wanted something similar for catholic college students and he dreamt a dream.
Ten years ago, Curtis Martin began the mission of FOCUS (Fellowship Of Catholic University Students). With a similar vision for spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ as the Crusaders, FOCUS leads small group Bible studies and large group outreach events at over 35 universities nationwide. FOCUS sends out groups of 4-6 missionaries, recent college grads, to each college to begin a Catholic outreach program. This program, in its short tenure, has helped bring 108 men into the Catholic seminary and 33 women into the religious life.
In my own life FOCUS has also played a huge part in my life. Besides marrying the most wonderful missionary in the history of the program, FOCUS has helped me to come to understand, know and love my faith more than I ever thought imaginable.
