SICM 2023

As you will be able to tell from the photos below, we recently took another group of young students up to Bellingham, WA for the Student Institute of Campus Ministry. It's something we do every year to help equip and train the next generation of student leaders. I love getting to go. Even though it's a long trip to be away every year, the amount of time I get to be with our new leaders is worth it. We had a really neat group this year. 

Group photo of the 100 or so students we took this year from all of the FOCUS campuses in DFW!

Here's what their classes look like for the week. Lot's of learning and they get to spend some time on the campus having conversations with students and putting some of the evangelism learning into practice!

We got to drive up to Mt Ranier before the classes started. Very beautiful. 

Here's some of the UNT men who we took this year. 

At the end of the week, every campus gets prayed for as we send out a new group of students to go back to their campus as evangelists for the gospel. This is the photo of our Denton campuses getting prayed for.

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 ...

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...

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...
