FOCUS Missionaries (Campus Boston)

Hopi Graham

My name is Hopi Graham and I am from New Jersey! I am a 7th year missionary and I have served in Virginia and all around Massachusetts. I am so excited to be a part of the UMass Boston community and to help students come to know Jesus more fully and make Him known through Bible studies and mentorship!

David Pagliarini

My name is David Pagliarini and I am a first year missionary from Rhode Island! I briefly went to the University of Rhode Island and eventually moved to Nashville Tennessee where I graduated and began working in music. Not long after that, I realized that my desire to share Christ was too strong to remain where I was. I decided to become a missionary and now have the incredible honor of serving the UMass Boston community. I’m so excited to join the amazing work being done on this campus and can’t wait to help students to fully know Christ!
