Happy New Year! 

I'm excited to update you guys on the last month. First, our student testimony from Collin College.

Even though I had a couple illnesses over the holidays, Christmas brought much needed celebration with loved ones. 

Prayer request: please be praying for wisdom about Winter Camp as we approach that weekend. And be praying for our students and faculty as we return to campus with the new Omicron variant! 

Thank you guys for everything. Love y'all!

    배당, 규칙, 테마가 각기 다른 다양한 슬롯 게임이 존재합니다. 고전적인 3릴 슬롯으로 간편하게 게임을 즐기시거나 페이라인이 여러 개 있는 슬롯 게임으로 한 차원 높은 플레이를 즐겨 보세요. 카지노가리 베팅후기에서는 편안하고 안전한 겜블을 즐기시는 유저분들이 카지노 사이트 만들어가는 공간입니다. 자신의 베팅후기를 글과 사진 그리고 영상들을 담아서 공유할수 있고 이러한 분들에게는 노가리 운영진의 현금성 쿠폰과 포인트를 듬뿍 드릴려고 노력하고 있습니다. 국내사설카지노의 경우는 유명 게임업체의 영상플랫폼을 정식계약 또는 편법으로 베팅용도로 활용하는경우가 많은데 카지노영상을 정식 또는 편법으로 제공받았다고해서 먹튀다 아니다를 논하기는 힘들것입니다.

August update

Happy August, all!  As summer winds down and the school year gears up, I just want to say thank you to those who continue to support me, and to those who are new who joined my team! The longer I do campus ministry, the more aware I become of the need for partnership in prayer, financial generosity, and relationship for the campuses. It's such a diverse place to be and an exciting arena to tell people about Jesus. As we enter the school year, please take time to ask God to soften hearts, and for boldness in all the campus ministries to tell people about Jesus and be friends with whom are willing.  And now for my favorite part: an update! This time it's from an alumnae, Chelsea Davis. I was actually in FOCUS at the same time as Chelsea at UNT, and over time we have formed a neat relationship. Please take time to read her story. She is a smart girl who loves God and loves people.  Welcome Week: Okay, those of you who have been with me for a long time know that W

I lean not on my own understanding

Cowabunga! This is my first blog post as an Apprentice for FOCUS! First, I want to say a BIG Thank You to my prayer and financial support team. I am able to pursue this coming year of mission because of your belief in college ministry. I am 76% fundraised, which is bonkers to me (in a good way). Seriously, the process of fundraising has brought an unfamiliar depth to my relationship with God. The process of fundraising is exciting, exhausting, and revealing. Fundraising has revealed different ways I struggle in trusting God, yet, He has been faithful and provided the means for me to be able to do ministry. I still have 24% ! If you know anyone who would be interested in hearing about my mission, please send me their number! I would love to talk with them. Thank y'all x1000. I wish I could hug all of you at this very moment, however, an e-hug will have to suffice *hug*. If you haven't set up your online giving yet, now is the time to do so! Follow this Donation link!

Hello, all! January has whooshed on by, and that has a lot to do with the momentum from Winter Camp. Winter Camp is a special, annual event that happens over a weekend every January. During this time, students from all of our campuses get together to worship, listen to sermons, and to spend time growing in community via friendship. It's not hard to grow in community when you are stuffed into cabins and forced to share small bathroom spaces. Honestly, some of the funniest memories I have from my 5 years of Winter Camp have happened because of small spaces. There is a lot of snoring, sleep talking, and dancing that happen. Winter camp is an enjoyable, yet stretching kickoff for our students. Though it rained the entire weekend, it was still an amazing experience. We had over 600 students from all of campuses attend Winter Camp. My first year at Winter Camp, there were only 300 students. WOW! This was the first time at Winter Camp where I truly didn't see certain people for hour
