Washington Visits Texas

Every year, we send students ripe with potential as leaders to Bellingham, Washington to attend SICM (Student Institute for Campus Ministry). Over our time doing this, we've developed close ties with the people who host us, CCF (Christian Campus Fellowship). We have stolen many ideas from them and visa versa and have gotten to encourage and pray for each other. During their spring break, they invite their students to sacrifice their spring break and go to other colleges to evangelize and minister there. This year they came to Denton!

What a whirlwind this week was! 15 students and 4 staff blessed us with their kind hearts and willingness to do whatever was necessary to reach our campuses. I feel like our week of housing, feeding, shuttling, and facilitating their time here was truly a testament to how we are blessed when we serve others. 

SOme of our church's small groups provided dinner and company most nights.

Owen loved hanging with his new friends.

They spent the majority of Monday through Thursday at UNT, TWU, and NCTC, practicing outreach! I think this was such a helpful reminder to our staff and students how important it is to reach out to people and show them the love of Jesus. I heard of many interesting interactions and conversations and quite a few led to people wanting to connect with a godly community more, praise the Lord!

The visitors went home today and, while I am very exhausted, I am encouraged! We'll miss our Washington friends!

Hope y'all are well!
