This week we launched our brand new FOCUS Missions website! On it you will see all our future mission trips, pictures, videos and more! Students and missionaries are able to apply to lead or participate in a Spring Break or Summer mission directly from the site.
As you know, I am a missionary for FOCUS, the Fellowship of Catholic University Students. What you may not know is that my wife Ali, works for the Augustine Institute. This past weekend the two Catholic organizations battled on the football field for bragging rights.
Now, I wish I could say that I was able to lead FOCUS to victory...
But I cant. We lost the game 20-12. But the 2 Catholic organizations came together in way they never had before. So in a different light, we all walked away victorious!
A week ago, my co-worker and I joined a protestant ministry similar to FOCUS, called InterVarsity, on their Summer Project Leader Training just west of Colorado Springs. We learned a lot about how to better operate a missions program and how to initiate these ideas into the FOCUS Missions program.
It was an even better experience that we were able to share our faiths together through discussion and prayer. You know, the battle between Catholicism and Protestantism doesn't have to be a battle at all. If we continue to open up in discussion and prayer, it is amazing what the Lord can do with that.
