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!

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...
