The new school year is almost upon us!
My apologies if you stopped getting these updates for a bit; I found a mistake that meant it was only sending to some people. Hopefully it works now!
We're doing a ton of prep to get ready for the school year. One of our biggest get-the-ball-rolling seasons is August - the week before and the first week school starts or, "Welcome Week" as we call it. We see so many different students flood the campuses from all over. There's freshman right out of high school, transfers, nontraditional students, international students, students from the metroplex, and students from across Texas. During these first couple of weeks in particular, we try to be on campus as much as we can to befriend them and invite them to community and ultimately to follow Jesus with us. We find that starts with friendships so we try to facilitate that by planning some fun events and activities! I'm so excited to see what God does on the campuses this year. There seems to be some momentum building over the last couple of years so we're praying for people to experience a more full life. "The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life." (John 10:10)
Fundraising update
Y'all, I am so so close to my fundraising goal, I only need $50/mo! Thank you so so much for praying and joining me in this ministry work, I couldn't have made it this far without you. I say this a lot but I just find it so cool that people are excited about investing in college students in this way. The financial support many of you are able to give means that I am able to do Bible studies, plan events and retreats, invest in student leaders, and more. So thank you for giving as you're able and for praying!
If you were still considering giving or increasing your support, you can go to anyfocus.churchcenter.com to give. If you can give me a heads up that'd be so helpful!
The other major update is that Owen turned one year old! It's crazy how fast time has flown!
I'm looking forward to sharing this next year with y'all! As always, if there is any specific way I can be praying for you, please let me know!
