December 2025 - Celebrating a Beautiful Semester

The UT Arlington FOCUS Staff

Hello sweet family and friends!

I am so thankful for your faithfulness in staying connected to what is happening on campus. Because of your support and prayers, I have been able to be part of investing in these students over the past semester and seeing them rooted and established in the love of Jesus, as the end of Ephesians 3 talks about - so, thank you!!

Over the last 4 months of the semester, there has been so much growth! Students have grown in their friendships with one another - those who were strangers in August now consider each other genuine brothers and sisters, best friends and confidants in December. 

They have also grown in knowledge of and maturity in the Lord. Some of them are irrecognisable from who they were at the start of the year. They've surrendered addictions, bitterness and unforgiveness, judgement and hatred in light of the beauty of doing things God's way. 

Here is the testimony from one of our students:

Thank you for being part of their transformation by being faithful to me. I don't say it lightly when I say that I could not do this without you.

Enjoy these sweet, joy-filled photos of our students from our Christmas party! We had the theme of "Christmas at the Oscars" and every small group made a video skit together. It was the sweetest night of celebration, reflecting on all God has done this semester.

Much love,

Veronica
