Hello all!
It's been an exciting beginning to our fall semester here at the UNT and TWU campuses.
Our theme for this year is Come and See, based out of the story of the woman at the well in John 4. She's so struck by her encounter with Jesus that she immediately feels a need to tell people about it!
Likewise out focus this year is around realizing what Jesus has done in our lives so that we have a similar passion to share that experience with those around us. Our sermons at TNF have focused on this idea for a these first few weeks of the semester, and it was a point of inspiration for our welcome week efforts to reach out to new students.
We have a lot of new leaders on the men's side in particular, which is due to so many graduating last year! Bittersweet, but it's been fun to get to know these new leaders and work with them every week in our mentorship meetings and leadership development time.
One of the things you guys can be praying for is our leader team. They are helping so much with the mission on a week to week out basis. We have more people involved in our small groups than involved in our large group gatherings, which means a lot of what we do starts with those small groups and the 1-1 Bible studies that come from it. Pray for these leaders and us as we lead them, as well as the people involved in the small groups. We have 200+ students across the two Denton campuses this year, and we want to do our best to serve them well.
Another thing on our radar right now is fall camp. It is happening this weekend, October 8-9th! This is a big deal for us every year, it is often an event that solidifies people being involved for the long run and is a major catalyst for new people finding friendships in the community. Pray that new students would come and start building meaningful friendships that point them to Jesus!
I appreciate all of you praying and giving and being a part of the campus mission. Jude and Nicole and I would be nowhere without your support.
