Hi, my name is Sean Crepin and I’m a Campus Missionary serving at WSU. Go Cougs!

I’ve been a missionary for 3 years and this year I’ll be serving on mission at Washington State University. I’ve been blessed to be chosen to serve college students at Saint Thomas More Center as Executive Director of Campus Ministry.

I was born and raised Catholic, attended Catholic schools, and growing up was involved in Church, but always felt like I was living a double life. I was one way in Church and another way at home or with my friends. The more I began to desire Christ in my life, the harder it seemed to follow him and become who he truly wanted me to be. Eventually, while I was in college living for Christ became easier, when the friends I made at our Catholic Center began to play soccer once a week with guys from the local seminary. During my time in college, God filled me with a zeal and courage to live out my faith by calling me to become a full-time missionary and even join the seminary.

While I was in seminary I was privileged to be discipled by a FOCUS and an SPO missionary. Bryan and Samuel were there to help me through some of the most challenging times of my life and they continue to share a life in Christ with me even today as brothers and closest friends. Their presence as missionaries helped me to believe that God did not abandon me and awakened a desire in me to want to be part of an authentic Christian community. Because of what they have done in my life I know that God’s work with me is not done and I’m excited to serve in His mission and be a disciple of Christ to the students at WSU the way Bryan and Sam were to me.

When I answered the call to serve at Saint Thomas More, I decided to rely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners to help me through this mission. I've been blessed with the most amazing people who have journeyed with me as I serve on campus. If you desire to help prayerfully and financially join this mission with me, please consider making a donation. If you would like to become a part of this mission, please reach out and I would be happy to share with you what God has been doing with our students and with me.

Hi, my name is Alexandra Goulet and I’m a Campus Missionary serving at WSU. Go Cougs!

I have served as a missionary for 3 years in Georgia, Missouri, and South Carolina and this year I’ll be serving the community at Washington State University. I’ve been given the privilege to serve the college students at Saint Thomas More Center as Director of Women’s Ministry and Discipleship.

Growing up Church was my home away from home. It was my safe haven filled with friends, and family and where I felt I truly belonged and could be my most authentic self. I loved serving my faith community in any way I could as I entered my teen years. When I got to college my faith was tested. I was having trouble balancing my life between hanging out with my new friends, campus activities and schoolwork my involvement within the Church fell to the wayside. During that time, I felt truly lost, like an integral part of me was missing and the people closest to me noticed. With the encouragement of my close friend and former high school youth minister, Eileen, I attended a Youth Ministry training conference, and for the first time in a while, I felt like myself again. Being surrounded by young adults on fire for their faith reinvigorated a spark in me that this is where I wanted to be.

The following year at school I got involved with Campus Ministry and found that support system I was looking for that encouraged me to make my faith life a priority again. I found my way back to the Church and remembered all the things I loved about living out my Catholic faith. The time I spent away from the Church while difficult, ended up strengthening my foundation over time and is what gave me the courage to dedicate my life to becoming a full-time missionary in the years that followed.

Since leaving missionary life, I have been pursuing a career in the hospitality industry. I thought God was no longer calling me to a life working in ministry full time. When this position at WSU presented itself, I was unsure of saying “yes” in the beginning. As I continued to pray about the position that sparks from years back was reinvigorated once again. The thought of helping college students navigate their faith while in school, especially young women, excited me and filled me with joy. I realized that God wasn’t done with me working in ministry, but was simply waiting for the right opportunity to place in my path.

Choosing to answer God’s call and serve at Saint Thomas More, while intimidating, is ultimately very exciting for me. During this next chapter, I’ve decided to rely on the support of mission partners, both spiritually and financially to help me on this new mission. I’ve been blessed with this amazing opportunity and would love for you to join me on this new journey. If you’d like to help me and support the work I’ll be doing, please consider making a donation. By becoming a mission partner you are helping me make a difference in the lives of the students at WSU. I would love to keep you updated on what God is doing not only in my life but the lives of our students. Joyous Blessings!
