Although entering campus full time requires $2,000 per month, I am moving forward in faith by inviting twenty people to commit $100 per month. This is not a step backward. It is a step of wisdom, stewardship, and endurance.
This week, I was deeply encouraged when my friend from BNI, Bobbi Jo Curtis, immediately stepped in with a $100 gift. Bobbi Jo is a business and training coach who offers coaching and consulting for small businesses, and her generosity reflects both her character and her conviction. After our call today, I was not surprised by her response. She challenged me to go harder, to sustain a little longer, and to remain faithful to the work God has entrusted to me. She believes in me and in this mission, and I am genuinely grateful for her encouragement and push forward.

There is also quiet progress happening in ministry partner development. Promises that were once spoken are now becoming commitments. What was once future tense is turning into present reality. I remain focused, prayerful, and steady, keeping my eye on the true prize. Opportunities continue to open to pray for those who are hurting, to encourage professors and students to live with purpose, and to invite them into a deeper relationship with God. I have also had the privilege of encouraging authors to write and editors to edit, reminding each person that we all have a place and function in the Kingdom of God.
When I began this journey on April 16, I genuinely believed I would be fully funded within three months. Now, as I approach the one year mark, I recognize that this season has been a holy lesson in patience and trust. Scripture reminds us to let patience have its perfect work, and I am learning what it means to rest in God’s sovereignty. “Be still, and know that I am God.” I am moving forward without striving, confident that God is faithful in His timing.
On a personal note, our family has much to celebrate and much to pray over. Maya has officially declared her college choice at Florida Atlantic University, and we are asking for continued prayer for scholarships and provision as she prepares for this next chapter. We also welcome prayer for Taylor and the dreams God is unfolding in her heart.
Jarrod has officially entered the dissertation writing phase of his doctoral journey, a significant milestone that we are grateful for. Eian and Eithan are both continuing faithfully in school, and we thank God for stability, growth, and grace over our household.

Thank you for standing with us in prayer, encouragement, and partnership. What God is doing on campus, in our family, and through this ministry is steady, sacred, and unfolding exactly as it should.
With gratitude and resolve,
Pastor Jorgie
