The Gift of Christ-Centered Community with Anna Hurd of FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students)

"You’ve been trained to heal my body physically as a nurse, but what I’m inviting you to do is heal my body spiritually as a missionary."

Christ spoke these words into Anna Hurd’s heart when she was discerning what God was calling her to after completing her nursing degree.

Anna’s own life had already been transformed through FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students) at Western Kentucky University.

Now God was calling Anna to be a FOCUS missionary herself.

Like nurses who go out to battlefields during war to care for the wounded, Anna could see how God was calling her to care for spiritually wounded students--Anna would invite college students into personal relationship with Christ and Catholic fellowship.

Listen to this inspiring story, as well as Anna's wisdom about how to help encourage your own teenage and young adult children in their faith.
