FOCUS

Recognizing the pivotal role college years play in shaping a person's future, Curtis Martin founded FOCUS in 1998 with just two missionaries at Benedictine College. Later that year, he met Pope St. John Paul II, who endorsed FOCUS's mission of ensuring that every student feels known, loved, and cared for by Jesus Christ. The Pope’s advice was simple: “Be soldiers.”

 

Inspired by the Pope’s call for a New Evangelization, FOCUS has expanded its mission, reaching tens of thousands of college students through outreach, Bible studies, discipleship, mission trips, and national conferences.

 

Today, FOCUS continues to guide young people in their search for truth and meaning, fostering relationships with Christ and their peers. Through God's mercy, FOCUS missionaries remain dedicated to spreading the gospel and transforming the world through Christ.
