In this final segment, 10-year FOCUS veteran and "newly-minted" Serra Club member, JohnMarc Skoch, talks about the mission similarities between the two organizations and the appreciation of Serra as a sequel to FOCUS. As a FOCUS Regional Director, JohnMarc leads FOCUS Missionary teams on five Kansas college and university campuses.

In this segment, read about a life-changing encounter between brothers (now both Serra club members) in which an older brother (FOCUS missionary) challenged his younger brother (the author of this segment) in his faith life. The essay presented here won the author a scholarship back in 2017 to help defray expenses during his final year at KU.
