September Ministry Update





Wowie! August was a crazy packed month! During the "First Flight Week" (a week where freshmen come on campus a week before classes start so they can go to seminars and get used to the campus before school starts) our FOCUS students were on campus every day to meet new students! I was so encouraged by our students! They were so eager to meet new people as well as continually showing boldness when asking someone new to be their friend!






To kick off welcome week, we had two days of helping freshmen move into their dorms on Move In day! Not only did we get to help their move in go smoother than expected, we met so many people that wanted to be our friend and learn more about Jesus!




Every night, we had events that allowed our students to interact with and get to know all of the new people we were meeting every day! Here is a picture of a group of people that were playing Skip-Bo with me! This game night was the first night of welcome and so many people came, they had to split up the crowd to play games in two different houses!!




The Friday of Welcome week, we had our first FNF to kick-off the school year. We had such an incredible turn out!




Lastly, the Denton team has been brainstorming some really fun and engaging activities to help us reach out to more students on our campus! SO, we got a 6 foot beachball! It was so fun and so quickly tiring; it really brought the kid out in everyone!



Prayer Requests

  • That our students would continue to "cast their nets wide" in order to meet as many people as they can in the first few weeks of school.
  • That our student leaders wouldn't be tempted with arrogance or comparing themselves to each other in order to compete, but that God would remind them that he made them with different strengths and weaknesses for HIS glory!
  • Pray that the Lord would bring healing to our campuses and that he would bring the chaos of Denton to his perfect order and peace.


Student Testimony




THANK YOU

Love Always,

April Ministry Update

APRIL IS HERE!!! I can't believe it is finally April! This school year has just been flying by and I can't believe we are almost done with the apprenticeship. March was an intense month but such a good one and so I wanted to give you some updates. Because I was recovering from surgery most of this month, I don't have many pictures! :-)  Surgery Update: Well, during spring break, I had surgery to remove my tonsils because they were causing me a lot of trouble. It was my first surgery ever and even though I was a little nervous leading up to it, it went so smoothly. The recovery, however, was not nearly as smoothly. It took me almost 3 weeks to recover. I was told to prepare myself for so much pain and discomfort and I was in no way prepared enough. I would cry because I was hungry, I would cry because I was in pain, and towards the end of my recovery I cried because I just missed being able to see people. About 5-7 days into recovery my pain medicines stopped work

November Ministry Update

Fall is here!!! October has been super ham packed! We started the month of with fall camp! All of our Denton FOCUS students went over to Mt. Lebananon and spent just 24 hours away from Denton!  That 24 hours were packed with time with their core, games, snacks, and worship. Fall camp is a great opportunity for new students to really get plugged in and make friends in our community; where friendships are already formed, there is space to deepen those friendships! While there, we had two sermons that introduces our theme of “All In”! We talked about not only do we need to be all in for God, but we also talked about all in being about diversity and just as the kingdom of God is diverse and full of people from every tongue and every nation, we too should be striving to make disciples of all nations! This was one of the many groups of students playing games all weekend! Popular favorite games were: Spicy Uno, Spoons, and Code Names! Such a big part of fall camp w

Late night game of Werewolf To begin my apprenticeship, I was officially ordained on July 26th so I am now an ordained campus minister. August 1st marked the beginning of this 10 month adventure.
