Phil Stone, with FOCUS Ministries, joined Bill and Anne Marie in the studio as the first interview of the day. FOCUS, Fellowship of Catholic University Students, is a religious group for college students. For many college students going off to school is the first time that they are away from their parents and during this time they typically stop attending church. FOCUS Ministry goes and talks with the students in a comfortable setting and reminds them of all the Christ has done for them and helps them to find a church in the area that they can attend. Last year FOCUS was at 39 campuses and is excited to say that this year they will be at 49 campuses including Drake University in Des Moines.

Richard Lane, Catholic Evangelist, was Bill and Anne Marie's final guest of the day. Richard shared stories of the recent events that he had participated in. Richard then told his journey to the Catholic faith. Growing up in Detroit, Richard was raised as a Lutheran. During his teen years he found trouble going to church every week but his mother said you have to go to a church. He ended up going with his friend to a baptist church. During his time in the Army Richard began attending the Catholic services and began to realize his calling to the Catholic Church. Richard now goes around being an Evangelist preaching the good news.
