As We Close the Year, Thank You for Helping Make Room

As we approach the close of this year, I want to begin by inviting you to partner with me in finishing strong.

If you have not yet had the opportunity to give an end of year gift, I would be deeply grateful for your support. Every gift directly supports campus ministry with faculty and graduate students at the University of South Florida and helps lay a strong foundation for what God is preparing us to step into next.

Thank you for considering how you might partner in prayer and generosity as this year comes to a close.

A Season of Community, Calling, and Courage

From April 16 until today, this season has been nothing short of remarkable.

Since stepping into university ministry, I have been reminded daily that this work is never done alone. It is built through community, through faithful friends, family, loved ones, and partners who believe in what God is doing and choose to come alongside it.

This season has taught me again the importance of asking for help when it is needed. Ministry grows best when it is shared. I am deeply grateful for every prayer, conversation, encouragement, gift, and introduction that has helped carry this work forward.

Ministry on Campus and Momentum Beyond the Classroom

I am currently serving part time in campus ministry at the University of South Florida, with a focus on faculty and graduate students. What began as a step of obedience has grown into a clear assignment.

As we move into the new year, I will continue part time with faculty and graduate students while expanding efforts to:

• Launch a prayer group or Bible study

• Build intentional relationships with faculty

• Strengthen engagement through online platforms that extend ministry beyond physical space

This work is relational, prayerful, and deeply rooted in presence, and I am excited about what God is unfolding.

A Strategic Opportunity Through ENG Sports and TBCI

This week, I have been in Wesley Chapel serving with ENG Sports at the Tampa Bay Christmas Invitational. This experience has opened a significant door for ministry partnership and fundraising.

One exciting development is that volunteers who serve at future tournaments will now generate a donation to InterVarsity Christian Fellowship Graduate and Faculty Ministries. This creates a sustainable pathway where service directly fuels ministry impact.

The leadership behind this tournament carries strong vision, generosity, and a desire to give back, and I am grateful for the opportunity to build alongside them. This partnership has the potential to support ministry in meaningful ways moving forward. It has been encouraging to see how faith, service, and generosity can intersect in such tangible ways.

Making Room for What God Is Doing Next

As we look toward the new year, I sense a clear invitation from the Lord to make room.

Room for deeper discipleship.
Room for new partnerships.
Room for unexpected opportunities.
Room for what God wants to build next.

This next season will require faith, flexibility, and continued partnership. I am excited about what is ahead and grateful to walk into it together.

A Personal Ministry Update

I also want to share that I will be speaking at Brandon Chapel for Watch Night Service as we close out the year and step into the new one. It is an honor to help lead God’s people in reflection, gratitude, and expectation for what is ahead.

Thank You for Walking With Me

Thank you for being part of this journey. Whether you have prayed, given, shared a connection, volunteered, or simply encouraged me along the way, please know that your support matters deeply.

If you are connected to individuals, businesses, or organizations that value faith, education, leadership development, or community impact, I would be grateful for any introductions you feel led to make.

My heart is full of gratitude, and my eyes are fixed forward.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
