Exciting News!

 Hello Everyone! Time is flying by! How are we already at the end of February?! It truly does not feel real to be coming closer to the end of this apprenticeship. 

This month has been so busy and God has been doing so many great things in our ministry, from non-believers engaging in conversations about faith to seeing girls who have been Christians their whole lives getting serious about building their adult life on God! It has been a true blessing to be a part of! Even though this month's update could be about so many things, I want to share some exciting news will all of you! After much prayer and thought, on the directors end as well as mine, I will be staying on staff with FOCUS this next year at Collin! I am so excited about this and feel like God is calling me to continue to pour into these college students! I am so thankful to be able to join God in His work on campus for another year! Saying this, I will be starting back up fundraising soon and will be contacting each of you to see if you would want to continue supporting the work God is doing through me! To have each of your supports means so much to me and truly is a tool into bringing these small pockets of the Kingdom to the Collin Campus! I can not wait for another year of partnering with all of you to continue making and maturing disciples, all for the glory of God! 


Prayer Request: 

- For Fundraising, that people would be excited and willing to join me in bringing the love of God to all of the students I meet

- For perseverance as we get to the home stretch of the school year! 

- My core girls, that they would see and experience God in new ways this semester! 

- Impact week, a week where students from Washington come and learn ministry skills and participate in outreach alongside us! It is 3 weeks from now and we are so excited to share in God's heart for college students! 

- All of the people who have lost someone, whether recent or in the past. That they would just experience peace beyond understanding! 

- Anyone who is sick, whether with common colds or flus or individuals battling terminal illnesses. 

- The orphaned, that they would find a home in the arms of the father


Praying for you always, MacKenzie

 Hey friends! Wow, I can not believe it has already been 3 months since I began this apprenticeship journey! Thank you so much for your continued support and prayers, I truly could not do this without all of you! So much has happened since my last update, so let's dive in!      First, I got baptized! What a joyous and life giving experience that I got to share surrounded by some of the people who have been such an example of Jesus to me. Adriana, one of our senior staff members at Collin and one of the fastest friendships I have ever made, baptized me. Here is a picture of Adriana and I, after what I like to call my "Holy Dunk".      This moment was such a special experience where I got to publicly proclaim my faith and express my gratitude to a God that gave everything while asking nothing but devotion in return. I was overcome with joy as I saw people I met in Denton and my new friends in Plano come together to celebrate how far the Lord ha...

 Hey friends! I hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! God has done so much in my life this past year and I can not wait to see what He does this year!  One semester of the Apprenticeship down, one semester to go! What a joy it has been and this past month was no different!  This past semester was filled with friendship, fun, self reflection and crazy growth! God has shaped me so much and I can not wait to see how He continues to do so. He has placed so many people in my life that has challenged me and showed me Jesus through their care for me. Some of these people are my fellow apprentices! They have been such lights to me and I truly feel as though I have gained 9 new siblings through this journey. Here is a picture of us from our FOCUS Staff Christmas Party!  God has also been revealing to me the importance of serving the community He has placed us in! One of our students, Rachel (photographed above), got me plugged into a ministry called Exodus. Exo...
