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 a small group of students and meet with them 1-1. They truly are the backbone of this ministry and we as a staff team would be able to do so much less without their constant serving and facilitating throughout the year. 

Our Denton staff team this past year!

A couple pics from the nursery we're now done setting up! Jude Owen is on his way very soon! We're expecting him to be born in the next couple of weeks. Please be praying for a safe delivery, healthy baby boy, and for Nicole and I as we transition to being new parents! 

Thanks all for your constant prayer and support, it means the world to me!

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 ...

The Continuing Work of the Lord

Happy Easter!  Tonight marks our last leader meeting for the school year and this Thursday is our last Thursday Night Fellowship, which will be on the beautiful cliffs of Grapevine Lake. Bittersweet, as it's been an amazing year to celebrate but also the end always means seniors graduating, and sometimes our staff changes. This year Steven, (center top left in pic below) is going to transition off of ours staff to go do mission work in Thailand for a time! God's calling to foreign missions has been something he's felt for a while, so this mission trip marks a step in that direction. Excited to hear about what God does over there but definitely sad to lose a key leader on our staff team. Becca, (center bottom in photo below), will continue in campus ministry at our Richland College campus, so we are keeping her but also losing her. Join me in praying for these young staff as they go out onto the next stage of ministry.  Our Denton Staff Team Our Denton Student Leader Team! T...

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...
