Hi friends and family! Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you had a wonderful time with your loved ones. I feel so deeply thankful for each of you and your support to my ministry, and lately I've been so thankful for God's abundant grace for me. At our large group gathering, we did a four week series over God's grace, and the goal was to capture our theme for them this year, which is Grace upon Grace, but more importantly for our students to understand the depths of God's grace much more than what they have previously understood or been exposed to.  I'll share some takeaways from these grace sermons our ministry has done, and what stood out most to me. I'll also share the link in case you also want to give it a listen. (So far we only have one up, but more will be uploaded later):  https://open.spotify.com/episode/57jEc1PqKOdY2oWDHTf0IL?si=3AoeUXPoTR-rI7nOvyoZyg Here are some notes from the different sermons that really stuck with me: "Grace means to delight in so...

 Hi friends and family! Hope you all are well and have a very Happy Halloween! October in ministry each year is always the best because we take our students to a Fall Retreat, and it was our biggest yet smoothest year yet! I am always so encouraged by it, and hope you feel encouraged by the photos, and the experiences I'll share about below!                                                             Hispanic worship night! This was the second year that this event has been put on by our students! These sorts of events are my favorite because I just love getting to hear about how much people's culture, and upbringing have helped shaped their relationship with God positively. They had different students come up to share on their personal experiences, a dance to a worship song, and so many songs that connected personally to those who gre...

  Hi friends and family! Now that its been about a month into the school year, we are now getting into the swing of things! It's been a great start to the year, and so many new students are getting plugged into community, and many of them have never experienced a christian community before, and its so exciting to get to share that with them!                                                                            TNF! (Thursday Night Fellowship) We have a full service of students each week on Thursday nights ready to come fellowship, worship, and hear sermons to deepen their understanding of God and scripture! I love getting to do the slides for the night because I get this great view of students in sincere worship. Nights like these feel like a small slice o...

 Hi friends and family! I hope you're doing well and that you had a great month of August! This is our busiest and most exciting season of ministry since all of the students have come back to campus, or come for the very first time! The Lord has been at work in many ways seen in the openness of so many students who are interested to know more about community and about Jesus! Praise God!  Fall staff retreat! Every year before we go out onto our separate campuses, we spend time with our staff team together getting spiritually refreshed and ready to pour out onto our students! This was my third year getting to do this, and it is such a gift getting to connect with my coworkers in this way, and not just do a job together, but be on mission with one another, and be reminded about our goals as a ministry. Corefa retreat! The past few years we have put on a 24hr retreat for our student leaders after a week long of events and evangelism to meet students on campus. This is a time for o...
