End of Year Party
Scripture Smackdown
This semester, we challenged our students to a little competition between the guys and girls to read whole books of Scripture. They loved it! And as a community they read over 500 books of Scripture (and not just the short ones, either!) The girls won!!
First Annual FOCUS 5K
(And it may never happen again!) But seriously, I hope it does, what a blast! Some students took initiative to plan a fundraiser for SICM and raised over $4,000.
SICM
Our annual leadership training conference happened and I can already feel the impact of so many students fired up and ready to love their campus. Our ministry is big on developing leaders; it's one of our core values. We believe that we are more effective as ministers when we make disciples who make disciples. Christianity can die out in a generation but by investing in those who will then pour into others well, we get to build on a vision that will outlive us. And we pray they'll do more than we're able.
Y'all know I get to focus a lot of my energy at TWU. This year, we sent these six girls to SICM. They've already made a lasting impact on their campus, but I'm so excited to see what God wants to invite them to be a part of next year at TWU.
Fundraising Update
I'm entering into my fundraising season for next year. Currently I'm looking to raise another $1,000 a month. I love that I get to partner with so many generous people who are excited about the work God is doing on these campuses! If you are interested in giving or increasing your support, you can do so at anyfocus.churchcenter.com and find my name in the dropdown. As always, I so appreciate your support and prayers.
The other thing I'm looking to do this season is make more connections. If you have anyone in your network who loves God and might be excited to hear about what I’m doing, I would love to talk to them!
Owen has been my partner in fundraising as we kick things off. If you want to join his support team, he'd love that!
