I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?

 

UTD had their family/alumni night! It was a fun time getting to meet these students' families and get a chance to invite them into what their kids are learning and participating in.

Our church had a church retreat on the weekend just before Halloween and we had a trunk-or-treat for the little ones. I won't tell you what movie this is from... but if ya know, ya know.

This is also a picture from the church retreat. It may look like I'm sleeping... but I'm actually not. These are my good friends Johnny and Meg! They are some of the best in the biz. Though everyone's getting busier, we still try to spend some time every week together!

This is Jeremy and Stephen helping me work on Stephanie's car. They installed an Android Auto console onto her car so that she can take phone calls handsfree. The best (amateur) mechanics that I know of in the area!

Here are some of the students at UTD's Halloween Bash. We had an appearance from 2015 star, left shark.

UTA had spooky outreach this season. Austin, one of our pastors at UTA, took it to the next level with his zombie costume.

Here are Emily and Bailey, some other pastors on campus, taking a more traditional route.

The last of our campuses had their Fall Camps for this year. Here are their group pictures! Thank you for your support in ministry to help reach these students!

Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope y'all had a wonderful week and got to eat yummy food! :-) It's been a crazy month!! Our church had our annual fundraiser for the kids' ministry. We flew in Iain Provan for a weekend to speak at a joint-church service and Pizza Theology. I got to see a few movies—something that I've not done in a little while. Birthdays, parties, funerals, dinners. And today is Giving Tuesday! (And the month is still not done yet!) If you haven't heard, FOCUS has an annual fundraiser called Keep FOCUS Growing. A generous subset of our supporters has pledged to match over $55,000 in donations that come in during this fundraiser campaign which officially ends today! If you haven't yet, would you consider donating? To learn more and to donate, visit anyfocus.org/kfg ! We will also be posting updates on our Facebook page today. For a taste of what God is doing on our college campuses, read through this short testimony from Josh at UTA that was posted yest...

  I got to spend some time with this group of guys in Colorado. It was so beautiful and I enjoyed getting to take some time off after the big SICM trip. It was also a sweet time to get to know these guys more in depth and experience their servant-heartedness while we were all taking care of each other: making meals, cleaning, and trying to include everyone in the fun.  From left to right: Stian (green hat, former UTD campus pastor, Collin campus pastor), Mick (blue hoodie, UTD alum, Collin campus pastor apprentice), ME, Kevin (tall guy, Collin campus pastor), Steven (glasses, Denton campus pastor), Brandon (old guy, UTD campus pastor), Jared (chain necklace, UTD alum), and Jonathan (Broncos jersey, UTD alum). I love seeing the stars—it's so rare to see them in the city. Obviously my phone does not do it justice by any stretch, but you could see stars stretching across the entire night sky in Colorado. When I look up and see the vastness of stars, it reminds me of how small we ...

May 2024

It has been 9 years since I graduated from UW and 12 years since I left Vancouver, where I grew up. This year, after a couple of years of thinking about it, Steph and I were able to explore Seattle and Vancouver together—both places that are a big part of my story. We were able to visit the church I attended growing up where a surprising number of aunties recognized me despite a big appearance change. One even commented on how I used to be so quiet and avoidant of people (hopefully you have noticed that is not the case anymore)! I was also able to meet up with some friends that I haven't seen in years (some, it has been since graduating college). This December, we are planning on visiting Cameroon with her family, where Steph grew up, for a New Testament dedication ceremony. A handful of New Testament translations that Steph's parents have worked on for the past 20 years are finally in print and available to the people of Cameroon in their heart language . Praise God for the ab...
