A Psalm of David - Focus Ministry Updates

How good and how pleasant it is when brothers dwell together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down Aaron's beard, down the collar of his robes. Psalm 133:1-2 Hello, my friends!     God is good. October was filled with him. I wish you could've been with me this month, experiencing God on the campus as he was working. But! I should catch myself. I know that God is working everywhere, not just on the campus. I'd love to hear how YOU have seen God working this month.    With that being said, I'd love to share with you a few of the ways I've seen God at work at Collin College last month. Here we go! Thursday Night Fellowship:     TNF has moved into a new room! The days of shuffling chairs and tables in the cafe are over. Embrace the days of a visible projector screen, great acoustics, and hype! We've been filling out our new lecture hall every week to the point of running out of chairs and even having ...

  Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain Psalm 127:1a Understand, then, that it is not because of your righteousness  that the LORD your God is giving you this good land to possess, for you are a stiff-necked people. Deuteronomy 9:6 "It's not because we are good, it's because God is good" -Ronnie Worsham Hello, my friends and team!     September has finished and October is here! So much has happened this past month, so let's dive right in and see what cool things God has started! Wait, I almost forgot! Before we get too far in, thank you so much for cheering me on and for supporting me and this ministry . I'm so blessed to get a front-row seat to the action. I wouldn't be able to without you. OK, now we can move on:     If the quote at the top of this ministry update made you wonder who Ronnie Worsham is, this is a picture of our class with him! Ronnie is the man who started FOCUS around 20 years ago, the lead pastor of the Northeast ...

 Open my lips, Lord, and my mouth will declare your praise. Psalm 51:15 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. 1 John 4:12 Hello, my friends and team!     Wowza! School has begun, and we're off to the races! Thank you so much for participating with me in what God is doing on campus. It's only the second week of school, and God has already done so much. Let's get right to it, this was August:     Our first TNF (Thursday Night Fellowship) was a smashing success! The top picture shows the crowd of students that came to meet friends and to encounter God at TNF, and the bottom shows some of us playing definitely-professional-level volleyball afterwards. During TNF, I ended up sitting next to 3 guys who all said that they were desperate to have God pouring back into their lives after each of them had experienced metaphorical deserts over the last one or two years. One of them even said that God had ...

In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice;  in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly. Psalm 5:3 Establish the work of our hands for us- yes, establish the work of our hands. Psalm 90:17b Hello, my friends and team!     Thank you so much for being right by my side as I begin full-time ministry with FOCUS. I couldn't do it without your support (Yes, you, reading this!). I want to give y'all an update as we move into the year! Enjoy!      These are this year's apprentices! It's the biggest class of apprentices yet! There are 19 of us being sent to different colleges in the DFW area. This picture was taken August 1st, the day we were licensed and officially made our commitments to the community. Among the commitments we made, I wanted to repeat this one to you: "Do you promise not to preach yourselves but Jesus Christ, crucified, risen, and Lord of all? - We do, and we ask God to help us."       These three photos were ...
