“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9
Hello Friends!
Have you ever had one of those months where you stop for a moment, look around, and realize God has been moving in ways you almost missed because you’ve been busy walking by faith?
This has been one of those months for me.
As I reflect on May and June, my heart is overflowing with gratitude. There have been moments of celebration, moments of discipleship, moments of prayer, and moments that reminded me why saying “yes” to campus ministry was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
Sometimes we think ministry only happens behind a pulpit, in a church service, or during a special event. But this month reminded me that ministry often happens around coffee tables, through text messages, during prayer walks, and in conversations where someone simply needs to know they are seen, loved, and not alone.
Watching God Grow People
One of the greatest joys this season has been walking alongside two incredible young women through discipleship.
We have spent time talking about faith, purpose, relationships, God’s voice, and what it looks like to follow Jesus in everyday life. Watching people grow spiritually never gets old. Every question, every breakthrough, every prayer reminds me that God is still transforming lives one person at a time.
Discipleship is rarely flashy.
It is simply showing up consistently and trusting God to do what only He can do.
A Month of Celebrations 🎓
This month also seemed to be filled with graduations!
In the span of just a few weeks, I had the privilege of celebrating four graduations, including milestones within my own family.
Each graduation reminded me that life is full of transitions. Whether someone is moving into college, stepping into a new career, completing a degree, or beginning a new chapter, these moments matter.
As I watched students and graduates cross stages, I couldn’t help but think about the importance of having people who encourage, mentor, pray, and walk alongside us during seasons of change.
That is exactly why campus ministry matters.
God Is Faithful
As many of you know, InterVarsity staff raise support to serve students and faculty on campus.
As we approach the end of our fiscal year on June 30, I have been amazed by God’s provision.
Recently, another ministry partner joined the team, bringing us to approximately 67% of our funding goal for the upcoming year.
I am incredibly grateful.
Every prayer you’ve prayed.
Every encouraging text you’ve sent.
Every introduction you’ve made.
Every gift you’ve given.
Every act of support has helped make ministry possible.
Because of faithful partners, students are being discipled, Bible studies are being launched, prayer is happening on campus, and relationships are being built that point people toward Jesus.
Looking Ahead
This fall, I am excited to continue building discipleship relationships while expanding ministry among graduate students and faculty at the University of South Florida.
I am praying for:
✨ New monthly ministry partners
✨ Open doors with graduate students and faculty
✨ Wisdom and discernment for ministry opportunities
✨ Continued spiritual growth for the students and women I am discipling
✨ God’s provision as we finish this fiscal year strong
Thank You ❤️
Thank you for cheering me on.
Thank you for praying.
Thank you for believing in the mission.
Thank you for helping make ministry happen.
This season has reminded me that faithfulness matters. Seeds planted in prayer become conversations. Conversations become discipleship. Discipleship becomes transformed lives.
And through it all, God remains faithful.
“Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us…” Ephesians 3:20
