Hi, my name is Cesar Sitio and I'm a Student Missionary serving at Washington State University.  

Go Gougs!

I’m currently a senior in Pre-Med studying Biochemistry here at WSU. I’ve been blessed to be called to disciple and serve college students at the Saint Thomas More Catholic Student Center as Director of Men’s Ministry and Discipleship.

I was born and raised in a Catholic family and grew up attending a Catholic elementary school. Mass was a weekly practice; prayer was encouraged, and other church involvements were common. Still, while growing up, I never felt fully connected to my faith and understood what I was here for and why. I knew something was missing. It was the summer before my senior year of high school when the Lord spoke to me and began the journey of calling me back to him and making me his own. I began to ask questions and attempt to follow the Lord, as I was being encouraged by my community to continue this path, but it was the beginning of college where the Lord really began to move.

Early in college, I was heavily involved in the church community, but I struggled to understand what it meant to follow Him, and what that would look like. With the persistence of the Lord, he began to win me over by showing me his love, community, and brotherhood with the men around me. Encountering missionaries of Saint Paul’s Outreach and the Brothers of Hope, God began to show me a community he desired for his children. This began to realign my heart to the Lord, to desire more of Him and what he had for my life. As the Lord began to win me over with his love, He placed a fire within me that desired to continue this path of surrender to Him and to allow Him to work in my life.

By God's pursuit of my heart, He has filled me with a desire to live a life for the growth of His Kingdom, and to be a missionary for Him. I desire to live a life that offers brotherhood to the men and community around me so that God can begin to work in their lives as He has done and is doing in mine. I’ve been blessed with this fantastic opportunity and would love for you to join me on this call to mission. If you’d like to help me and support the work I’ll be doing, please consider donating. By becoming part of my campus missionary support, you are helping me make a difference in the students' lives at WSU. I am excited to serve the Lord this year as a student missionary at WSU.
