Thy Geekdom Come Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Okay, I want to go the the [url="http://www.focusonline.org/"]FOCUS[/url] National Conference in January, but I'm not certain if I will. I'm wondering if any other PMers will be there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immaculata Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 No, but I know someone who knows the founder of FOCUS, who apparently is now the new Dean of Students at Christendom, which I will be visiting a week from tomorrow. Small world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God Conquers Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 I knew a few girls involved in FOCUS, I was on mission with them last WYD in T-Dot. Seems like a great organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wynd Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 FOCUS is an organization that sends "missionaries" to college campuses where they try to minister/reach out to the students and strengthen their faith through Bible studies and talks and things. I'd like to go to the conference, but it's like $100 or something in that area and I don't have that kind of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Curtis Martin, Dr. Sri, Dr. Madden, all who belong to the orginal FOCUS team. Micah, go to the conference, I have never regretted going, in fact it really is a good place to net work. There are few other places where you can be surrounded by 4000 other like minded peers. (Last year we got to see [i]The Passion of the Christ[/i] way before it came out, and JC & Mel spoke to us) Also Micah please say hello to Brian Lager, Tell him that he is [i]rock bottom[/i] indeed, that should get a reaction. He is a good friend of mine. I was so close to being a missionary, but in my discernment I realized that I am called to a masters degree and a docterate instead.

Thy Geekdom Come Posted November 5, 2004 Author Share Posted November 5, 2004 I think I'll be going. It will only cost $180 and I'll be going with a large group of friends from the Newman Center (a reward of belonging to the most orthodox parish in the country).
