Hello all


Welcome back! UNT, NCTC and TWU FOCUS' are in full swing! Heres a look into what's been going on in my ministry lately:

NCTC:
This year in addition to being at UNT, I've been overseeing our NCTC campus, which is in Corinth, just right outside of Denton. NCTC is a small community college, where Aaron and the rest of the Denton staff have been working and building community for the past 3 years. It's been really cool to see this community grow over the past few years. I got to be involved my last year as a student as we were starting a FOCUS there. The campus has really changed. The first few weeks we were there, getting students to engage and talk was pretty challenging. The culture of these small community college is very much that of where students come, go to class, and leave without interacting with other students. Since we've grown our community there this has started to change. Students are now able to join and feel a part of a group of people pursuing Jesus on campus. They're getting to study the Bible with each other, meet and discuss scripture, and play games and hangout together during their breaks. It's awesome to see. Thank you guys for supporting me and making things like this community possible for students.

UNT:

These are all the guys I meet with weekly to mentor and disciple. They're 8 of our student leaders who have committed to this year of leading a small group and studying the Bible with the UNT, NCTC and TWU students in their group. They do about 10-15 hours voluntarily each week learning how to minister to their peers and building a family style group of other college guys that they can minister and pour into. I'm super thankful for them and their hard work, and love getting to pour into them.

Hey all, I'm thankful you're taking the time to read this. I want to give you guys some more peeks into what we've been doing at Collin, and there's a lot that's been happening this month! First, I want to again thank you guys for all your support and prayers. I can't thank you enough for continuing to be a part of God's work on these campuses. I am truly convinced that God is working in the lives of these college students, and that for many of them, this will reshape their life as they go out and live in our society. We still want to bring people to the realization that Jesus is Lord and make fired up disciples who will go out into the world and spread that good news over and over. So thank you again for being a part of that. March was a great month for a lot of reasons. Early on in March, during Collin's spring break, me and a few of the other guys from our FOCUS ministry at Preston Ridge got to drive down to Big Bend National Park. We camped for ...

Welcome to 2025/2026!

 Incoming Photo Collage from our 3 week outreach intensive. We made it through another start to the year!! By God's grace haha. It's always a wild, exhausting but rewarding part of this role.  Here's a little bit of the payoff:  If for any reason it won't load, its a video of over 300 college students gathered in a classroom on campus at UNT for our first Thursday Night Fellowship of the year! They're practically shouting their devotion to Jesus! This is awesome stuff, and we're so thankful we get to stay on campus where the students are for our worship and preaching time. Many of the students won't leave campus until they feel more settled, so we've always felt that we can do the most by doing as much as we can on the campus! We're continuing our sermon series on the gospel of Mark, these first two weeks have been covering the call to carry your cross and the story of the Transfiguration. I got to tackle preaching over the Transfiguration passage an...

Next on the List: Summer and a Son

 We're back to summer!  Denton FOCUS just finished the end of our Spring 2021 semester, and we went out with a bang after a year that started all spread out into little groups.  Our end of the year Denton FOCUS party We got to do our end of the year party all together! Our small group and 1-1 ministries thrived in the midst of the pandemic but there's nothing like a big group gathering where you can see everyone in the community together and fellowship. We're thankful we at least got to do this at the end of the year. We're also looking forward to this summer. We're doing Summer FOCUS on Thursday nights all together (not just denton but all the campuses across DFW) We're all ready to see everyone back together worshipping and learning at that, so be praying for that to be a good way to build some momentum back up for the fall, and that we stay safe! These are all the student leaders that we had on our small group team this year. So many people! They each co-lead...
