August 2018

Hello

It's been a busy month!! The transfer to the Denton campuses went smoothly, and Nicole and I are settling in to our new home.

August meant a lot of excitement, and I mainly just wanted to share a lot of pictures that give you an idea of what has been going on in the ministry. All the new students move into their dorms, and we get to be there to help them and greet them and offer them friendship.


Some of our students who were on the move in crew. Me in the background doing who knows what.
Two of our apprentices on the outside here, Brittany and Ryan, and a student leader of ours Nate in the middle. They did awesome work on move in day. 

Our first Friday Night Fellowship! 


Here's our staff team! Most of them anyways. Brittany, Brittany, and Reagann not pictured. 


NCTC!!!! This is one of our smaller communities at a local community college. It's so neat, and reminds me of working at Collin College. 

The first month is always exciting and challenging for us and the students, as we meet as many people as possible that are coming onto the campuses. Please be praying for our students that they will be faithful to continue reaching out and befriending the students they've met, and that those students would be open to that. 

Love you guys, thank you for your support and prayers. Please continue to let me know if there's anything that I can be praying for you guys for.

An Amazing Start

 Hey all, Here to update you on the first few weeks of Denton FOCUS. It's been a whirlwind, we had two weeks of doing events on campus, lunches with new students, tabling and giveaways, big night events outside on campus playing capture the flag or lawn games. The 6 foot beach ball made multiple appearances :). It's been a really awesome start to the year, and so far the students have been responding really positively. By and large it feels like the ones we are meeting are interested in engaging, many of them wanting to get involved and even the ones who aren't are less hostile than some of our previous years, so that's something we are praising God for!  Our second TNF, last night. We got a bigger room thank goodness, our first week in a slightly smaller room had people lined up along the walls! Our first two Thursday Night Fellowships have seen a bit under 300 students show up, which is awesome! (Fo context, last year our biggest Thursday night was in the low 200'...

What Will be Happening this Fall?

Hello all, We're two weeks out from what is typically our craziest week of the school year: fall semester welcome week. This is when campuses usually throw big events to welcome the incoming freshman, and welcome back students who have gone away for the summer. Obviously, this is prime time for a ministry to be on campus to be visible and engaging with the new students. So many of the people we have throughout the year come from us meeting them during welcome week. This year, things are going to look different. So as you support campus ministry faithfully, let me tell you what we're going to be doing this year to still be faithful on our end to minister to college students. Outreach: Reaching out and meeting new students is a vital part of our ministry, and because of COVID, the way in which we do that is going to have to look different. Not all of the students that normally attend classes are going to be in person on campus, so we can't expect to rely on holding in person ...

Prayer Requests Going Into the Fall - Hey friends, we're about to start another fall semester of ministry in a couple of weeks, and that means a new leader team, a bunch of new students flooding the campuses and looking for belonging and more importantly looking for Jesus whether they realize it or not. Our goal is to meet as many of them as we can.  - Please pray for us to cross paths with those seeking and lost and that we can bridge the gap between them and their relationship with God and Christ loving community.  - Please pray for our leader team to be inspired to share the gospel boldly and bring people in with openness and love.  - Please pray fro our staff that we would also be sharing the gospel boldly, preaching and praising God well, and taking care of all of the logistics that go into a really busy few weeks.  Thank you for your support, and for being on mission with us.  Ryan
