Training, community, and real missionary experience for young people who want to live their faith with purpose and impact.
God is personally calling me to an intimacy with Him in daily life, which I live concretely through Eucharistic adoration and silent time with the Word of God.
Beyond that, I love proclaiming the Gospel in the streets and public spaces and praying for healing for people. That’s what makes me feel alive. It’s what gives life meaning. There is no greater joy for me than seeing people transformed through an encounter with God’s love—when they become lovers and followers of Jesus.
Mary says in Medjugorje that there are two groups of people: those who have not yet experienced God’s love and those who already have.
My deep desire is to bring hundreds of thousands of people to Christ through the Holy Spirit and to guide many toward deeper discipleship—for example, through courses like Alpha or Life in the Spirit seminars.
For several years, I have worked as an engineer for a consulting firm. Since the “Call to Mission” weekend, my mindset has changed. I’ve begun to consider not only living this call alongside my work, but also giving it my all. Therefore, this year I took a four-month leave of absence to intentionally discern the path of becoming a full-time missionary.
As a teenager, I misinterpreted my inner inclination toward the peripheries of society. I thought I simply didn’t have enough passion to be happy among Christians, that I still needed the world. After many years of growing, maturing, and drawing closer to the heart of Christ, I now know the opposite is true. It’s not that I’m “not good enough,” but that I am exactly where I need to be.
And my longing to be among non-Christians, my desire to connect with hurting and disillusioned people, is an opportunity to bring the light of the Church. It’s an occasion to proclaim the Good News of the Gospel and lead people into communion with the Bride of Christ.
Since I realized this, I have been constantly looking for ways to shape this part of my calling—and for concrete opportunities to enter into mission. Not a mission on the other side of the world, but a mission in Europe. The European Mission Campus suddenly makes the impossible possible. Suddenly, my vision of being a missionary in Germany or Austria is no longer an absurd idea, but a tangible and achievable reality.
At a time when the established Church is reorganizing and seeking new paths, the Mission Campus is a place where people prepare to proclaim Christ. It is a school that not only forms people, but also trains their vision to see the needs of the Church and respond to them. A campus for those who are burning for God—but also for the Church—because the Church in Europe will need much missionary work.
