Big Month!

Hi everyone! I hope you had a restful July and stayed cool. 🌤

As you may have seen on social media, Erin and I got Married! Here are a few sneak peeks we got last week.

Cute

Wholesome

All of the men in this picture (besides my brother), I met in FOCUS as a student at UTA. I seriously love each of them so dearly. Thank God for community!

More SMU Hangouts!

You may recognize the middle 2 from last week! A group of SMU students went bowling after work a few days ago. I was winning until Charles snuck up on me - then I got wrecked.
From left to right we have me, Jacquelyn, Jacob, Brenden, Charles, and Abigail!

Meet Jonathan! He just finished his first year of college. He's loved the time he's gotten to spend with his new friends in FOCUS, and is going to be a student-leader with us this year! He's a pretty serious student and has been feeling stressed with all his commitments so please be praying for him and for the students God will place in his path this year!

I should have more student pics but I keep forgetting to snap the selfies! 😭

Come and See

We just announced our theme for the 2022-23 school year! "Come and See" is reminiscent of Jesus's words in John's gospel. Our hope is that having our students internalize the invitational nature of Jesus's ministry will enrich their upcoming friendships, and will fill them with hearts that are passionately seeking their peers & professors who need Jesus's love and grace.


Thank you so much for your support! I'm so grateful that God has blessed me with a team that prays for me and sustains me financially so I can be with students full-time, sharing his good news! I pray that these ministry updates bless you as I reflect on how he's blessed us over the months.


Your brother,
Taylor

Summer FOCUS

It's been a slower month on the ministry front. We've got a few new students transferring into SMU this fall who have already gotten connected. Besides that, most of my time has been spent raising support, meeting our local SMU students, and getting acclimated to being a father. Summer FOCUS We've still been having a weekly fellowship night, and it's been great! This is the ad we put up around SMU for Summer term students to see We've had a great turnout from our campuses around DFW! Probably around 200 students who drive out to Richardson on a weekly basis Students I've talked to have been feeling impacted by the messages, and touched by the worship. Baby Audrey's now been here for a month! Here are some recent highlights. First big smile! Honk shoo 🤨 Loves affection 🍵 Not too much to report this month, but once August and especially September rolls in, things will get crazy and I'll have lots of stories to share! I hope you enjoyed some pics of baby ...

She's here!

Hi everyone, As expected, May was a very eventful month. We wrapped our final programming at SMU for the semester, sent off 100+ students from Dallas/Fort-Worth to SICM, and most importantly, Audrey was born! (Not biased at all) Get ready for the biggest photo dump of my career. Baby Last pic before becoming parents!

That's a wrap!

This month has been so fun (and also stressful). Fun because the semester is wrapping up, which means we've been having lots of special events! Stressful because our baby tried to come early, a week into April, so Erin has been stuck on bedrest. Praise the Lord, we just reached full-term on Saturday so now Erin is free to walk, squat, lunge, or whatever. (All of which she has been doing incessantly to try and get the baby out.) We still have 2-3 weeks until our due-date so for Erin's sake, I hope she comes sooner than later! Spring Formal Our last formal FOCUS event of the year, appropriately, is a formal. We had a great turnout with around 40-50 students A handful of guys from my and Luke's small group Wholesome Fire alarm works! Some extroversion is finally working its way into our community 🙌 Lots of lasts As I mentioned earlier, one of the fun things about this time of year is finishing everything with a bang.  We finished up our weekly fellowship nights by inviting a ...
