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.

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 ...

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 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...
