Why I became an SPO Missionary

Saint Paul's Outreach had an immensely positive impact on my relationship with God while in college! I learned that Jesus wants to personally know me and the power of running this race alongside faithful brothers and sisters. It was a desire to build Christian community that led me to say yes to mission and it has been the conversion stories of students at Rutgers that called me back to this work for this upcoming year. God is breathing new life into the Catholic Church and I am so grateful to witness and cultivate that in the lives of college students through my work with SPO!
