December Ministry Update!

Christmas time is here! It has been a jam packed month with so much happening! WOW, the month of November has been so eventful! Here is snapshot of all the things that went on!

Outreach has been so great! In this picture, outreach was organized by our student leaders and they created a prayer board! So as people walked by on campus, we asked them what we ways we could pray for them and were able to pray for them! It was such a sweet moment to be able to hear what the needs of our campus are! It also really pushed our students out of their comfort zone!



This is a picture of Orion and I at outreach! We both enjoy fall and crunchy leaves! Orion is a student  leader in my peer team! This girl has been through a lot this semester and she has been doing so great! She leads so well, seeks so much advice, and truly seeks to honor the Lord! Getting to see her grow as a disciple and a leader has truly been a pleasure! 



MEGA PEER TEAM: For the first time this semester, all of our women leaders got together and talked about the basics of discipleship and reminding our students leaders how we can grow as disciples as well as how they can encourage the ladies in their cores! It was such a fun night with so much energy!




We had two seminar/workshops this month at UNT! We had a licensed counselor come and talk about Anxiety and Depression and what God thinks about it! This was such an informative night because so many college students struggle with anxiety especially because of high expectations they have for themselves! We also had another one about Science and Faith and how to have respectful conversations about what people believe but also how you can see God through science!



Prayer Requests

Please pray for our students as finals are approaching! This is a time where stress, anxiety, and lack of sleep can kick in! This is also a time where our students are going home for a long break and some students have tough family situations! Please also pray for Winter Camp! We will be heading to camp in January and now, students are signing up! So please pray for our students and our community as we enter a new season!



Student Testimony


This is the student testimony for the month! This sweet girl is a corefa at UNT and has been learning so much about God and being a disciple!











Thank you, thank you, thank you!! On our KFG fundraiser to Keep Focus Growing was an absolute success! We reached our goal in just one day! We as community wouldn't be able to do the work we do on these college campuses without your help and support! So thank thank thank for your generosity!Love Always,Britt

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
