Bellingham Again

 Hey all

Just back from another amazing trip to SICM with 150 of our students who were going to learn how to evangelize, make disciples and share about Jesus back on their campuses. We are in great shape for the fall because of this trip every year! 



This is what most of the days at SICM look like. Lots of learning!

We went up to Canada during one of the days to do outreach on the campus up near Vancouver. Here is the group that got to go to SFU Burnaby!

Got to play some pickleball one night with the man who hosted us all at his home for the week! He was way better than any of us. These are some of the guys from UNT FOCUS who went this year. Great group of men who love the Lord.

Pray for a great return on this investment everyone made by going on this trip. The goal is to equip a new year of students to go back to campus in the fall ready to make Jesus led community happen. 

It's the end of the school year and our gears are switching from constant 1-1's and sermon planning and group stuff to getting fundraised for the next school year. Please pray for God to connect our staff with people who want to invest in the vision of planting communities on every college campus in DFW! Our staff will be spending the next few weeks working to get ready for the fall with our fundraising and planning days. 

Thank you for your support and prayers. I'm very encouraged by what's happening in the ministry lately. Lots to celebrate and its easy to see where God is working every day. Till next time. 

Ryan

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 ...

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...

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...
