Joseph Murphy

I grew up in Trenton, Ontario, with two loving parents and two younger brothers. When I went to university, a CCO missionary shared with me that we are called to be in a personal relationship with Christ. I was utterly shocked. How was it that I had been Catholic all these years and never known this? Almost a year later, while before the Lord in Eucharistic Adoration, I heard a voice say, “It is time”. I let down the walls of my heart and opened the door to Christ. I made an adult decision to invite Christ into the centre of my life, accepting him as my Lord and Saviour.

My Mission

I currently lead our Missionary Support Raising Team, a role I served in three years ago. Our team is responsible for building the culture and systems to support our missionaries to thrive in mission. We provide specialized training and coaching for support raising, enabling each missionary to build and steward their team of mission partners like you. Support raising is such a foundational element of our lives as missionaries; it brings me great joy to accompany our staff as they grow closer to Jesus through their fundraising.
