November


Hello friends,

Man, God has been so good this month!

The last few weeks have been full of his grace and provision, so I want to take some time to celebrate with y'all!

First of all we had our fall pizza theology a few weeks ago. We had Bill Watson from Criswell Seminary. He talked about the story of the Bible. Basically giving the students a more in depth look at the total narrative that God reveals to us in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. It was such a good way for us to think deeply about the way that God has worked throughout that story, and what part of the story we're in now. Thinking about this gives us such a good idea of how we can be faithful to what God is doing now. I love getting chances for us to learn more about the Old Testament as well, so that was a highlight for me and for a lot of other people as well.

We had tons of students that were able to come this time, which was really exciting!

Secondly we had our annual big fundraiser, "Keep Focus Growing" Which supplies us with funds to keep our ministry running, and give us wiggle room to move to new campuses as God leads us. God was so faithful to send us so many generous people this year and we were able to raise over $60,000!!   If you were one of the people who prayed or donated to this, THANK YOU!! We look forward to whatever comes next.

Check out the latest of our students to share their testimony below!

The Beat of a Different Drum

Hello all! Another school year has come to a close here, and this one marks the end of working at the Collin Campuses and moving over to work at UNT TWU and NCTC in Denton. More on that to come in the next few months, but first let me update you guys on some of what's been going on here the last couple months. The three pictures above are from an outreach time at our Spring Creek Collin College campus. Our outreach time there has been particularly strong the past few weeks, as the students have really taken that on and have been showing up. This was a day where we were outside talking to students and inviting them to come hang out with us and have conversation. This has been a successful way over and over of getting past people's initial hesitancy to engage in something more serious right off the bat, and has led to a lot of people coming into community where they can start studying the bible and joining a small group led by our student leaders. God has been se...

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 ...

Checking In

 Hey all, Happy New Year! I hope your holidays were wonderful, and that you're enjoying the post Christmas stretch. Nicole and the kids and I had a great time visiting San Antonio to see my family, and spending it with family and friends up here in the DFW area.  The ministry has been doing really well. The semester ended with a big frenzy of Christmas party, listening to our apprentices give their sermons for the ned of the semester, and a bunch of meetings and 1-1s before everyone left for the break. I'm excited to be back at work today, we're looking ahead to winter camp, which is only a couple of weeks away.  Prayer requests: - Our staff keeps getting sick! In some ways this is the theme of this time of year for people, but we would love some time with some healed bodies and protection from those pesky viruses that go around so we can continue to do what we need to do.  - Winter Retreat. Jan 17-20th. If you could, set a reminder to pray for that time. We are doin...
