FOCUS at UNL has all sorts of great stuff going on all the time! FOCUS Greek, Varsity Catholic, etc….super fabulous! On top of all that's happening at UNL, however, FOCUS is also striving to reach out to other local colleges in the area. One of these schools is Wesleyan University.
Wesleyan is a Methodist school here in Lincoln with about 1,600 students. Many of them are either Catholic or interested in learning more about Catholicism. Additionally, like at any college, the students there are continually tempted to engage in immoral and self-destructive lifestyles. Last year, there was a weekly Bible study sponsored by FOCUS that met every Monday night. An average of around 15-20 students came every week. About 15 Wesleyan students joined us for our SEEK cross-country adventure. They all came back on fire for Christ, and this semester there will be three weekly Bible studies (one for men, one for women, and a co-ed one), a weekly Wesleyan Holy Hour, and a monthly Wesleyan hang-out at the missionary house.
This is my second year as the UNL FOCUS missionary representative at this campus. It's truly a gift to have the opportunity to work with these students, and to see the way that Christ is knocking on the doors of their hearts. Please keep them all in your prayers!
