February Update


Hello and good morning beautiful people!

I just wanted to write a quick update on the ministry and what's been going on since last I wrote.

Thursday Night Thunder has been going very well. People are still coming and we are starting to become more steady. There is less coming in and out and less inconsistency in who is there and who is not. The students have been getting excited to be a part of serving on Thursday nights, whether that's setting up the room, cleaning up, helping give announcements, or planning events for people for after the service.



This is the room we meet in. Some nights it feels like we are already outgrowing the room, and others it fels like we still have a long way to go. Pray for consistency and for people to buy in all the way. Sometimes, especially at Richland, students get into the mindset that we are just another club and we are gathering for a club meeting. We have a vision for the students to be bought in all the way so that they can be a shining light on campus for Jesus.




one of the cool things about still being pretty small is that we can have group discussions and involve everyone in the things we are talking about. It's been cool to see people get out of their comfort zone, get to know new people, and get real with each other. I pray this will continue and students will grow in their ability to relate with themselves and others from a place of humble honesty and vulnerability.


I forgot to put this picture up earlier, but this is Bernard, one of the guys I am studying the Bible with this year. He's grown so much and it is inspiring to me to see how much he truly cares about Jesus. I've never studied with anyone who so diligently takes notes, goes home and reads the Bible, and comes back with a lot of questions (that I definitely don't always have answers to). It has been an honor to get to know him and call him friend this year. I just wanted to give a face to some of the things happening at Richland!

I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your day! Thank you again so much for supporting the work God is doing at Richland College. I seriously couldn't do this without each and every one of you! Thank you for loving me so well!

Peace and Love.

    Hey Jesse! Thanks for sharing what's going on at Richland. Sounds like Bernard is a neat guy to meet up with! It's always such an encouragement to spend time with people who are seriously committed to growing in Christ.

    Thank you for your faithful service at Richland. God is moving there!

November Update

     Good morning beautiful people! This month has been incredible. This was the last full month before the students go on their Christmas breaks, so there is a lot of thinking through what has gone well and what we want to work on for next semester. Focus is still trying to gain ground and grow at Richland, which definitely presents difficulties. We have limited funding, the students sometimes struggle to buy into the vision all the way, the culture is filled with a lot of worldly ideas and people struggling to find themselves. These are all ways to be praying for the ministry at Richland, but this month I want to focus on the wonder. So first off, Alex and I hosted a Friendsgiving over Thanksgiving break, which was a cool opportunity to invite people who might not have a place to go for Thanksgiving and get to speak life into people from all over the place. We made a ton of food, and surprisingly, people ate almost all of it. There were about 30 people that came ove...

December Update

Hello friends and Merry Christmas! First, I want to apologize that this update is a bit late. We had a staff retreat right after getting back from the holidays, both of which I will tell you all about in the next update, but that pushed off writing another blog. Second, I want to encourage you all that this month was truly incredible! What you guys are doing and giving is making a real difference in the lives of people at Richland. The biggest event that happened this month was the Christmas party. For a lot of groups and clubs, a Christmas party is little more than a gathering of people who are already friends, not interested in the deeper things in life, and out to get drunk, party, and do anything but be intentional and use it as a growing experience. This year our Christmas party was so much more than this. This was the first year the ministry at Richland was big enough to have our own Christmas party separate from UTD, which we have been connected to for a long time. W...

March Update

Hello beautiful friends! March has been quite the month. Every time I sit down to write one of these updates I think through everything that has happened and I just wish you all could be here. I can't begin to hope to express everything that is happening and all that God is doing. I often want to tell a big macro story and tell about how the ministry is booming and we are moving to a bigger building and everything is always on the up and up, world-shattering breakthroughs are happening, but there are two problems with that. First, God doesn't seem to work like that most of the time and that definitely doesn't seem to be how He's doing ministry here at Richland. Second, our God is personal and works in community and the development of hope and maturity on a person to person basis. In a lot of ways, this has been a hard month, we've had a corefa (small group leader) step down and had to work with the aftermath of that. Our Thursday nights have not been quite as bi...
