We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
Hi! My name’s Rosalie. I’m a FOCUS missionary at the University of Passau.
I am really joyful to serve as a missionary in Passau, Germany. Passau is a beautiful city in Bavaria on the border to Austria. I am very excited for what God will do in my life and in the lives of all the students I will meet. I want them to encounter God in a very personal way so that they can find him as their way, truth and life in the midst of all the problems our world is facing today. I help students to become more deeply rooted in Christ and invite them to live intentional friendships so that they can then go out and share the gospel with others.
I was blessed to be born in a Catholic family and I always wanted to get to know God better. At the age of 12 I had a very deep encounter with the Lord in adoration. I just knew that he is real and I was fascinated by him. So I totally surendered my life to him. From that moment on I was trying to seek him with all my heart. Throughout school and university I was trying to figure out what the Lord wants for my life but I just could not find an answer. Nothing I did really satisfied me, life seemed to be very shallow with no real meaning in the things I could do. The period of my life that changed everything was when I went on a mission trip to Nicaragua and Belize. That is where God persued me to follow him as a missionary. It was the best time of my life and since then I have been filled with such great joy, peace and love which continues now as I begin my journey as a FOCUS Missionary. I do not want to have Jesus for myself. I need to share his love with others. My greatest desire is to lead all students to Christ and to change our culture into a Christ centered culture again.
This great mission is not something I could go through alone. As a FOCUS missionary I made the decision to rely 100% on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners like you to help me through this mission. I gave my Yes to Jesus and now we need your Yes to go forth. If you are interested in partnering with me, please let me know of the best way to reach you and I will schedule an appointment. I’d be honored to share this mission with you.

By building genuine friendships, we meet students on a deeper level.
We teach students how to share the gospel, who in turn teach other students how to pass it on.
