October Ministry Update!


Hey my friends!! It is finally October and fall has officially arrived! September has been a super packed month. At the beginning of the month, the Denton staff went to Altitude, a trampoline park here in Denton! We had such a blast getting to bond outside "work". It really brought out the kid in all of us! We were doing flips and diving into foam pits and playing fun trampoline games we use to play as kids! I have been so blessed to work with such a fun and supportive staff! They have loved me so well and working with them has been a treat!






Story Time!


Story time is a fun outreach event that we started doing this month! We are trying different things for outreach because UNT is such a diverse campus and we ant to reach out to every student on our campus! For story time, we sit on a hill and set up our banner and picnic blankets! Each staff member takes turns sitting in the big comfy chair and we tell stories! Then between each stories we talk to the students listening and get them discussing the meaning and importance of each story!



Staff Meetings



Every week our staff team gets together and plans upcoming ministry events that we will be having! For the last month or so, we have been planning fall camp and it is finally coming soon! During our discussion of plans for fall camp Baby Willow wanted to be apart of the meeting! At just 6 months old, sweet Willow is our honorary staff member and was just dedicated to the Lord this past Sunday!




Friday Night Fellowship



Friday Night Fellowship is where our entire community gets together and worships the Lord! We have just finished our sermon series on "It's the thought that counts". For the last few weeks we have been talking about finding truth, questioning ourselves, culture, and God!


Kassi is a sweet girl in my peer team! She facilitates a girl's core at UNT! She has been learning so much about trusting God and learning what it means to walk in step with the Holy Spirit! She is so loving and excitable and getting to meet with her every week is always a great time!!

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

First and foremost, I just want to thank you for supporting me; whether that is financially, through prayer, or both! Thank you so much for choosing to join me in the vision that God has given me for the next school year! I would not be able to do this without you, so again THANK YOU! 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. To kick off our year, all of the FOCUS staff and apprentices from all campuses spent time together at staff retreat. (Almost 40 people in total! How incredible!) This retreat consisted of times of worship, time to bond with fellow staff members that we may not know as well, GAMES, and time to spend with the Lord and as well as minister t
