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.

An Amazing Start

Hey all, Here to update you on the first few weeks of Denton FOCUS. It's been a whirlwind, we had two weeks of doing events on campus, lunches with new students, tabling and giveaways, big night events outside on campus playing capture the flag or lawn games. The 6 foot beach ball made multiple appearances :). It's been a really awesome start to the year, and so far the students have been responding really positively. By and large it feels like the ones we are meeting are interested in engaging, many of them wanting to get involved and even the ones who aren't are less hostile than some of our previous years, so that's something we are praising God for! Our second TNF, last night. We got a bigger room thank goodness, our first week in a slightly smaller room had people lined up along the walls! Our first two Thursday Night Fellowships have seen a bit under 300 students show up, which is awesome! (Fo context, last year our biggest Thursday night was in the low 200'...

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 ...

Prayer Requests Going Into the Fall - Hey friends, we're about to start another fall semester of ministry in a couple of weeks, and that means a new leader team, a bunch of new students flooding the campuses and looking for belonging and more importantly looking for Jesus whether they realize it or not. Our goal is to meet as many of them as we can. - Please pray for us to cross paths with those seeking and lost and that we can bridge the gap between them and their relationship with God and Christ loving community. - Please pray for our leader team to be inspired to share the gospel boldly and bring people in with openness and love. - Please pray fro our staff that we would also be sharing the gospel boldly, preaching and praising God well, and taking care of all of the logistics that go into a really busy few weeks. Thank you for your support, and for being on mission with us. Ryan
