FOCUS is a national organization which works on the principle of "spiritual multiplication". The six full-time missionaries who serve the students at the University of Illinois lead Bible studies, host large-group events regularly, and find other ways to reach out to the campus community. Through one-on-one mentoring, they also train student leaders who lead their own small-group Bible studies.
The goal of FOCUS is to build a Christian culture one individual at a time. Please come visit the FOCUS office at Newman Hall to meet the missionaries or learn about how to get involved!
Student Leadership Formation Talks from 2009-2010
The following talks were presented over the course of the academic year by the six missionaries who serve the U of I campus. (All files are in WMA format.)
