New Semester!

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. 
His love endures forever. 
Give thanks to the God of gods. 
His love endures forever. 
Give thanks to the Lord of lords: 
His love endures forever.
Psalms 136:1-3

We're Back!!

As the winter break ended, Winter Camp went through and was a huge success (keep reading for more)! At the beginning of the new year, our staff went on a retreat in central Texas. I shared in last months blog that our purpose for staff retreat is to help rejuvenate their spirit and prepare for the spring semester and Winter Camp (don't worry, we're ALMOST THERE). 

WINTER CAMP!!

Here it is! WINTER CAMP 2020! We had a massive turn out of over 500 students who came to camp to worship God and have fellowship with the community. Some of our staff prepared amazing sermons over the most common Psalms the church are familiar with. One of my favorite types of psalms is gratitude. Having a heart of thankfulness helps remind me how great and mighty our God is when we get caught up in the hardest parts of our days. 

So so so many people!!


Worship night!

Three years ago, I lead a small group at Collin, and I made a bet with my guys if they came to winter camp, I would let them buzz my hair off...Here's the result!

Present year! Two great guys who I love dearly. (left: Adam at UTD. center: Johnny at TWU) 

A group of students woke up early to have a group scripture reading over Psalms and discussed what God has been teaching them. In the end, before breakfast, they prayed together to have a great camp weekend.

Spring Showcase 2020!!!


Spring Showcase is our big fundraising event we put up to raise support for our students to go to Bellingham, WA. Each year hundreds of our students are invited to attend the Student Institute of Campus Ministry (SICM), where they learn the foundations of being student missionaries on their campus. To help fund this once-in-a-lifetime experience, FOCUS proudly hosts an annual benefit concert and art show. I went to SICM in 2015 and gained so much wisdom about building spiritual friendships, leading a small group, and learn how to do campus evangelism. Join me in prayer so we can raise enough support to send the students we invite to cover their plane tickets, conference fee, and other expenses. I hope that I can see you at this year's spring showcase!

Me and my dear friend JB on our last day at SICM.

Ripples and Waves (My Final Ministry Update)

Image
As I was pondering what to write about in my last ministry blog with F.O.C.U.S, I asked God for a prompt or theme, and He responded with an image in my head of a single water drop in an ocean and seeing ripples flow across the sea. If you are not familiar with what ripples are, they are small waves or series of waves on the water's surface. They are especially caused by an object dropping into it or a slight breeze. Ripples are the instant effect of wind on water and they die down as quickly as they form, as the surface tension of the water dampens their efforts. If a wind blows steadily across a large enough patch of water for a few hours then the ripples become waves and these will not be dampened so easily. Ripples are mostly affected when the water surface is calm. By throwing the rock or dripping a single water drop into the river, you have given the water some energy. That causes the water to move around, trying to spread out the energy so it can go back to having a still, fl...

The End of the Apprenticeship!

Image
It's Over?!?! Okay, hold up a second! Has it been ten months already? Did time just fly by?! It's so crazy to me. It feels like just yesterday as I was going through the orientation in August. Wow... This apprenticeship program has helped me grow to be a better disciple, pastor, and friend. Throughout the past ten months, my brain was stretch with new information about God and ministry, and there was only so much I could only consume. Here's a gif that describes my apprenticeship year as a whole: There are so many things I and take away from the apprenticeship that I can't list them all. The top two I can say were. First, the classes I took. When I was applying for the apprenticeship, I doubted if I could go through it and learn anything because of my learning disabilities. I was afraid of not meeting up to the staff's expectations and feeling left behind. I talked to Brandon Worsham over the phone about it, and he gave me enough encouragement to not feel...

Ezekiel 11:19-20

  Winter Camp 2022  " I will give them an undivided heart   and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone   and give them a heart of flesh.   Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God." Ezekiel 11:19-20 A New Heart The longer I walk and fix my eyes on Jesus, the harder it gets. He shows me weak areas of my heart that are very hard for me to fix on my own. It's humiliating to see myself as weak and I try my best to avoid hardship, mistakes, and weakness. If I try to avoid them then I wouldn't need Jesus at all in my life and would say I'm perfect, but I'm not. I can't rely on myself or follow my flesh to avoid my own mistakes. I need to admit that I am a sinner and weak and I need God to change my heart, even when it's painful. " My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever " (Psalms 73:26, italics a...
