Denton TX College Missions

October come and gone my friends! When we last talked, we had just come off of Fall Camp, which was a really exciting and fun way to get the semester going strong. One of the cool parts of October was getting to see the bonds that began at fall camp between the students flourish. Core members who went came back knowing each other better and being more plugged into a community where they really can deepen relationships with each other and pursue Jesus well. It's been neat to see the ripple effects of that event in the lives of the students and conversations I've had with them in the past few weeks. This month was definitely not without it's excitement. As you saw at the bottom of last month's blog, this past month was Focus' 20 year celebration. Hundreds of people came out, Focus Alumni, current students, early leaders, support partners, and current staff. It was a time to reflect on what God has done in the past twenty years since Focus started at UTD as a tiny ...

Hey All! Welcome back!! There's a lot that has happened, and this past month was such a good snapshot of what God is doing on these campuses. One of my favorite things about getting to write these blogs is it gives me a chance to reflect on God's goodness and his work around me that I get to be a part of, so I'm excited for you to hopefully be thinking and reflecting on that with me. September/October are a couple of my absolute favorite months in Campus ministry. It was that way for me as a student, and now as a staff person it still remains that way. There's a couple reasons for that which have a lot to do with what I'll be talking about today. One, this past month is really often the time where we start to get a better sense of what new people in our ministry really have going on in their life. By this time, myself, the rest of staff, and most of our core-fas have started meeting up with specific students weekly, often studying the Bible with them. During tho...

Hey Friends! Wow, It's been a month already! God has been so good this month, an I'm excited to share that with you guys a little bit here. Thank you all who have been praying and thinking of this ministry during this past month. Those prayers are not unnoticed I know, and I am so thankful for them and for you guys. Also thank you to all of you who are on my financial support team. This was the first month, and it was really possible in so many ways by you guys being generous and willing to be a part of this with me. Thank you guys. If you haven't set up that payment yet, now is the time! I can answer any questions about how to do that if you need me to. A big part of this month was getting started on the campuses with outreach to the new students coming in. So the second half of this month has been a really busy and really fun time of being on campus, meeting students, and having what we call "welcome week" events. These are activities we plan on campus to bri...

Summer Update  Hey all! Welcome to my first blog post! If you're reading this, it probably means that you've played some role in getting me to where I am now. You've agreed to support campus missions with me by prayer or financial support, and I'm so incredibly thankful for both of those things. Getting to show you some of the effects that those two things have in the next year is why I'm going to be keeping you guys updated every month, so I hope you see this as a source of encouragement to see where God is working, and see how much you really are getting to be a part of ministry with me. If you're wondering when is the time to give your pledged donation, now is the time ! If you have any questions about that process still, please let me know! I wanted to use this first blog to let you know a few things: First of all, from the absolute bottom of my heart, thank you to you guys who have agreed to support me financially and through prayer. I hope you get ...
