Hi friends and family! It's the best time of the year in ministry! All of our returning and brand new students are on campus again!  Here's a verse that we have had as our foundation for our weeks of meeting and outreaching to those on the campuses: 1 Corinthians 2: And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. 2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. 4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, 5 so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power. Before our several weeks of all day outreach on campus, we always start with a training day for our student leaders. We make sure to emphasize to our students t hat it’s all about Jesus and God’s power in them and not th...

                          Hi friends and family! I hope you had a wonderful month of July!  I am so deeply thankful for your generous support to me that allows me to be back on campus this fall for year four of ministry because you have been willing to join me in reaching the next generation of college students!                                                                                Licensing Ceremony! All throughout the summer, every Thursday night we meet with all of our DFW college campuses within our ministry for fellowship nights called Summer Focus, but on the last week of the summer we always have a ceremony to have the staff members who are ma...

 Hi friends and family, happy July! I am so very thankful for all your support towards me in ministry!                                    Staff planning days! Over the summer, our staff doesn’t meet weekly altogether  like we do in the school year. Instead, we have two separate all day planning days to make a game plan for what the beginning of the school year will look like, and what our roles will be. This year, we’re starting some new  things! I will be helping to lead a weekly class over seminary course lectures for our students that want to engage with scripture on a deeper level. I will also be working with another staff member on trying to minister to those in sororiry groups as a way to outreach in more spaces on campus. I will also be leading our black student ministry where hope that many will find community with focus at events catered to them! This has been a super s...

Hi friends and family! Happy summer! I pray that it would be filled with lots of family time and time spent soaking up the sun as well as God's goodness!                                                          Sicm(Student Institute of Campus Ministry)                            The biggest part of this month every year is our ministry at large putting on our yearly leadership conference in Washington State. Focus has a long standing partnership with a campus ministry there called CCF(Campus Christian Students) where we have modeled a lot of our ministry values after. We send those of our students who have been faithful, available, initiative, teachable, and have a clear heart for God and His people to learn what it means to be a leade...
