FOCUS is one of the more extraordinary movements happening in the US on college campuses. They thrive wherever the environment is secular and so where they are located on campuses across the US, the campus ministries are booming. Say a prayer for all those participating that the Lord will touch their hearts and help them in efforts for the New Evangelization!
