2023 START!

Between Two Worlds

The 2023-24 school year of ministry has started off with a bang! August was a wonderful month of welcoming new freshmen and students to UTD and getting to hear their stories. Even more exciting is the overflow of attendance in our Welcome Week events and our first three weeks of Friday Night Fellowship gatherings. God is working once again on our campus this year and I am overjoyed to be a part of it!


Welcome Week

Every year the Focus ministry spends the first two weeks of school welcoming and inviting new students into the community. I had the pleasure of meeting so many new faces and hearing their stories. This year felt like a massive overflow of interest in Jesus and joining a Christian community. Our Core Facilitators (small group leaders) did an amazing job with all of the students who were ready and eager to join the community. 


Friday Night Fellowship 

Our Friday nights have been filled with excitement since the beginning of the school year! Our Friday Night Fellowships are our weekly gatherings where we worship, listen to a teaching from one of the pastors, and fellowship as one big community together. This year our attendance has been at an all-time high! 193 students!

Thank You!

Thank you for your support in ministry this year! It has meant so much to me that you have a heart for not only supporting me but in being a part of what God is doing at UTD. The interactions and conversations I have had with students are all thanks to your immense generosity.

As our students prepared themselves for finals and the end of their semester, I was delighted to get to spend another holiday season serving the students at UTD.  The Polar Express This year's Christmas party was such a blast! Our theme for our party this year was the iconic Polar Express. We had so much fun decorating the church to look like the train station and the train itself. I was given the honor of playing the role of the train conductor and dawned on my best impression of Tom Hanks. While these events are super fun, it is always a great reminder that these parties make memories for our students and really help them connect with each other. Deerfield Lights While this last month of ministry was short due to Christmas, was still a great opportunity to invite our students who stay in town to spend their holiday with their friends. I started taking students on a ...
