March Update

Hey friends,

I know you already heard from me this month about the commenting opportunity for religious freedom protection (here's the link again in case you missed it or forgot! https://anyfocus.org/campusaccess/) but I still wanted to send an update about campus missions in general this month!

We've been trying different methods of reaching out to the campus, but have definitely noticed it getting more challenging to engage with students walking around on campus. We're trying different things, and one of the most consistently successful new ways has been upping our social media presence. Students will reach out through our social media as we post and many have come around and gotten involved. Pray for us to continue to find new ways to reach students on campus.

We're also in the middle of a four part special class we're holding on campus called Discipleship class. We haven't done this in a few years, but typically we teach through something topical at a greater depth and with a more class like format than is normal for our Thursday night fellowship. It allows us to advance our students spiritual education to a level that matches the academic level they are currently at in college. Right now in that class we are doing 4 weeks on Christian History. I just finished covering heresies and how those ideas can and do still creep into our thinking today either as a culture or as Christians. 


Jude and all of us are enjoying some of the peeks at Spring we've been getting. Please pray for health of our staff team and student body. Lots of illness going around still!

Here's a really neat student testimony and some prayer requests for you all to lift up. Please let me know if there are any ways I can be praying for you this month!

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...
