Why I became an SPO Missionary

I became an SPO missionary because the most transformative years of my life were in college. And this transformation was because of the Catholic community near my campus. The people at my campus ministry loved me well by investing time and prayer into our relationship. I want to do the same. In adoration I was deeply convicted that in loving the people around me, I am loving the Lord. There are aching hearts and souls on college campuses and the Lord longs to meet these people in these places that ache for communion, safety, and belonging. My desire is to bring the love of the Lord to everyone I meet and help them encounter the Lord in these places.

Favorite Scripture verse

"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.' I will rather boast most gladly of my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may dwell with me."

2 Corinthians 12:9
