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...

 Hi friends and family! The summer has flown by so quickly, but has been a great one! I hope yours has been restful and fun as well!                                                                        Summer FOCUS! One of my favorite parts of summer as I likely mentioned before is getting to be with all of our DFW college campuses worshipping and fellowshipping with all of our students! It has been a great summer of deep heart level, challenging and truth-filled sermons, a wonderful time meeting new students, and just looking around getting to see what God has done in many of the lives of those around me. Also to see how God has been faithful to each of our college campuses and allowing students to know Him more deeply. If you would like to listen to these sermons that we had throughout the summer and ...

  Hi friends and family! I hope you're having a wonderful and restful summer, and that you have a great fourth enjoying lots of time with family and loved ones! The summer is a bit more slowed down for our ministry, and I'm grateful for that and for more time to reflect on my thankfulness for those around me, and especially for each of you partnering with me! Staff planning days! We had two staff planning days a few weeks ago to start going over all the planning for our ministry this fall. This includes conversations over changes we wanna make in the ministry, what events we'll do for our welcome weeks (week long campus events that are put on for the new and returning students to learn about our ministry), things that worked well, and maybe didn't etc. It was really thoughtful that our director Ryan (very left) found fun coffee shops for us to meet in for these meetings to make the long planning days a bit more fun. We also got to grab dinner together, and visit differe...

  Hi friends and family! We have sadly completed the 2024-25 school year, and many of our students have returned home, though some are still around for the summer fun! Thank you so much for supporting me throughout this entire year! It's such a blessing to get to share with you all what God has done throughout the year. He has been so faithful to work in and through our ministry this year! The kingdom has advanced on the Denton campuses this year because of your support! End of year party! At the end of every year we do a party for the students in our ministry! We meet at a nature park, where they can swim in the lake, play yard games, and then we always have a time of honoring our seniors, and student leaders! It's always a bittersweet event, but a great way to reflect on the Lord's goodness with one another! This is most of the girls in Murphie (back left in glasses) and I's UNT small group! I've led many small groups over the years, and God moves powerfully in ea...
