About

Fanning the flame of faith and mission.

_______

“Were out hearts not burning within us?” ask the disciples on the road to Emmaus. This is the question that we want resonating in the heart of every alumni. Do I still want to know Christ Jesus and make Him known?

Our team exists to support alumni as they answer this question, fanning the flame of faith and mission in everyday life circumstances. We help navigate the journey from collegiate outreach to lifelong mission, whether an alum finds themselves there after four years of undergrad or 10 years as a FOCUS missionary.

Through digital groups, in-person events, prayer and coaching, we ensure alumni can confidently answer the Lord’s baptismal call to a life of intimacy and evangelization.

A growing alumni network.

Involved as college students or having served on staff with FOCUS, our alumni go on to careers and vocations in every sector of society.

Alumni,

 You’re awesome. Did you know that? I’m so blessed to get to work with some of the best evangelists in the world—you.

We do what we do because we think you and your efforts to follow God’s will are worth supporting with all possible energy. Together, we get to build the kingdom for our Lord’s greater glory and the sanctification of ourselves, our families and the world.

If there’s anything we can do to that end, don’t hesitate to reach out. Let’s transform the culture together.  


In Him,

Josh Santo
Vice President of Alumni
