FOCUS UC Irvine

Pursuing college students with intentionality and love, inviting them into a growing relationship with Jesus and the Catholic Church.

FOCUS is a Catholic collegiate outreach whose mission is to share the hope and joy of the gospel with college and university students. Trained in Church teaching, prayer, sacred Scripture, evangelization and discipleship, FOCUS missionaries encounter students in friendship where they are, inviting them into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and accompanying them as they pursue lives of vir

tue and excellence. Through Bible studies, outreach events, mission trips and one-on-one discipleship, missionaries inspire and build up students in the faith, sending them out to spread the good news and to live out the Great Commission: Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations (Mt. 28:19).

Let’s give a warm welcome to the newest missionary for Team UCI, Jeremiah Nguyen! 🤪🥳

Hometown: Richland, Washington
Alma Mater: University of Washington (Go dawgs!)
Studied in college: Economics
What are my favorite things to do/where you would find me: I'm usually outside playing sports, running, hiking, chilling with friends, and staying up late doing random shenanigans

I am a missionary because I found God in a profound way during a low point in my life. He showed me that there is so much more than the life I was living, obsessed with the material parts of this world and what people thought of me. Through Him, I have gone through so much healing and live in much greater freedom as a result. As JPIl said, "Life with Christ is a wonderful adventure." It has been a crazy journey for me since I turned to Jesus, yet one filled with so much peace and joy. As a missionary, I have a special opportunity to invite college students into this crazy and wonderful adventure.
