Connecting with Students at STK Dinner

The Penultimate Week – Everythings coming together!

Prayer List

Family Preparation – For us as we prepare for a boy in the house come August.

Evangelism and changed hearts – Pray for the students as we continue to meet an entrenched people who just don’t want God. Roland and Scott are two young men more interested in philosophy or why the bible could be wrong than actually engaging with who Christ is and what He came for.

Culture Shift – Pray for the campus to be convicted of the sin of the LGTBQ stuff, to stop offering their books, their destructive ideals, to be convicted of heart at this wickedness.

“The Gospels work because they speak to the human heart’s deepest longing for truth, love, and redemption, weaving a story that’s both timeless and fiercely personal.” — C.S. Lewis

Campus Ministry Thoughts

Thank you for your unwavering support as we continue to share the transformative love of Christ with college students. Our recent lecture on campus was a wonderful example and experience, centered on the truth that Christianity is inherently good—offering hope, purpose, and redemption in a world that desperately needs it. The response was great, with new students joining us, eager to arge (I got an invite to the debate club). The trajectory of our ministry on campus is promising, and we’re excited to see where God leads next!

New Leaders & Graduating Seniors

We’re thrilled to welcome two new student leaders to our team, bringing fresh energy and passion to our mission. At the same time, we’re celebrating 16 graduating seniors who have grown tremendously in their faith. These seniors have left a lasting impact, and we’re praying for them as they step into the next chapter of their lives. 6(TBD) of them will actually be coming back to us next year for PhD’s or working in the area.

Student Growth & Spiritual Hunger

Our students are leaning into their need for God in beautiful ways. One student, Jeremy, has been seeking regular check-ins to read Scripture and pray, reflecting a deeper hunger for spiritual growth. This kind of vulnerability and desire for connection is spreading across our community, and it’s a testament to the Holy Spirit’s work.

Exciting New Initiatives

To keep this momentum going, we’ve set a $72,000 fundraising goal by Fall 2025 to fuel our latest ideas:

  • Gaga Ball Court: A fun, engaging space to build community and invite new students into our ministry.
  • Handouts: High-quality resources to equip students with the Gospel and practical tools for faith.
  • New Library Books: We’ve added 5 Lies of Our Anti-Christian Age by Rosaria Butterfield and Spiritual Depression by Martyn Lloyd-Jones to our library, offering students biblically grounded insights to navigate today’s challenges.
  • Campus House: The bread and butter of ministry is providing a space for students to not feel the pressure that they feel on campus. Our very first initative is finding a property close to campus that we can have pizza and fellowship at, where people can just grow in friendship.

How You Can Help

Your prayers and generosity make this work possible. Please join us in:

  • Praying for our new leaders, graduating seniors, and the students discovering Christ.
  • Contributing toward our $72,000 goal to fund the gaga ball court, handouts, and new books. This can be as simple as sharing this message, our facebook, instagram, anything. My summer goal is going to be creating rolling posts for the next year so that we can get the word out about the work we are doing.

The harvest is plentiful, and we’re seeing God move in powerful ways on campus. We are looking to bring up another Campus staff who would find funding to work alongside we as well. Thank you for standing with us as we serve the King and proclaim His good news!

To God be the Glory
