It is our goal to be there to welcome them, invite them into meaningful community, and help them encounter the Living God.
Please Pray for the class of 2016, that many will encounter the life-transforming grace of Jesus while at Richland, Collin, UTD, and UNT. Pray that authentic disciples will form influential relationships with them.
Pray for FOCUS's student leaders, that they will be bold in their love and generous in their hospitality. As they welcome new students on campus, pray that God will give them the courage and gifts to influence many!
Pray that the missionary staff and alumni volunteers of FOCUS will have big vision and supernatural creativity. Pray that God will provide the resources, energy, and grace for us to bear much fruit.
Here are some key dates. Could you mark them on your calendar or enter them in your phone so you'll be reminded to pray?
August 24 - Freshmen move in at UTD & UNT
August 27 - Fall Semester starts at UTD, Collin, & Richland (We'll be reaching out all week)
August 29 - Fall Semester starts at UNT
August 30 & 31 - Our kickoff nights for FOCUS

| This is what our t-shirts for the year will look like. I'm excited about our new theme--Everything New--celebrating God's promise to redeem all things, including us! |
freshmen are just high school seniors with a summer vacation.
ReplyDeleteThis is sooooo true. Praying for their hearts to seek healthy friendship, for their minds to crave godly wisdom, for their motivation to be others focused, for them to seek wise council, to learn to live a disciplined life, and for their understanding of church and christ too grow beyond their parents faith(or lack thereof).
