Happy Thanksgiving!
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to each of you! Y’all are the best. This semester has had its share of challenges and joys, all of which the Lord is moving in. Thank you for being a part of what the Lord is doing.
At this time of the year, I’m reminded of James 1:2-4:
“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
I pray this is an encouragement to you. Enjoy this brief snapshot of November :)
Keep FOCUS Growing:
A note from our Director, Brandon Worsham:
"This annual fundraiser helps cover a bunch of background expenses in addition to setting aside funds for future growth. Many years ago, the Lord clearly laid on our hearts the commission to build campus ministries at every campus in DFW, including the community colleges. Few others are trying to reach community colleges anywhere in the US, even though somewhere around 40% of undergraduates attend them. We've had ministries at some campuses for years, but these campuses are harder for a bunch of reasons--quick turnover of the brightest students, challenges to funding, little to no on-campus life, etc. I told our campus directors recently that I believe the Lord has assignments for us beyond DFW, but we have to complete our first assignment first. For next year, I'm starting to build a team of some of our brightest, boldest, and most creative young people to pioneer on multiple community college campuses, and to do a lot of learning and experimenting. I'm hoping this week to raise funds to support those ministers and give them a strong budget for reaching new students in new places! If you can give $5 (or $5000!) it will be matched by pledges from other donors at anyfocus.org/kfg2025."
With love,
Cathryn
