I’m very blessed and grateful for how God has provided for my family and I during a challenging year as I’m surrounded by a loving and generous community in Texas!!

As I continue to realize the depth of my sinfulness, I experience God’s grace and mercies

God has reworked my spiritual foundations and understanding this past year and I look forward to being refreshed, reminded and challenged as He builds upon it this next year starting with AWC.

I’ve been filled with the hope of heaven this year!

My hope is to grow more confident in a Christ and to learn how to become more anchored in God’s word.

I have been able to observe how God worked in my life in every part to help me grow into the man He’s called me to be.

It is the great commission that the Lord call us to do!

Showing me unconditional grace through different ups and downs in life

This year, I want to really grow in what it means to rely on God and find my hope and strength in Him!

God surprised me a lot this year

I want to follow through with the disciplines I set for myself in 2026 to constantly strengthen my mind and practice loving on other people.

My 2025 was full of challenges. A lot of things happened unexpectedly in my life and I have learned how to handle them with God

God has powered everything in my life from my final two quarters of college to my graduation and to my success in getting a job right after college

Through different trials, I’ve grown in perseverance and tenacity and thank God that he changed my life in this way

I’ve experienced lots of unexpected situations and those led to redeeming many parts of my life.

I have never felt so calm even when facing difficulties.

I’m excited to trust God with my 2026, living in surrender!

Being able to have fellowship together, build together, live together

God did many amazing things in my life and on my campus in 2025. I'm hype to see what else he has to offer in 2026!

God allowed my heart this year to have more burden for the lost and have more of his desires and less of my own.

Was blessed to find Godly friendships since coming to college

God connected me to a strong fellowship of believers with Kairos at UMD. I was really uncertain about how I was going to strengthen my faith on college and God has provided Kairos as my home away from home and as a community to keep me connected to God.

Everyone's gonna be so hyped about Jesus, and it'll be awesome to carry out his mission as a squad (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ )

This year I was pushed to expand my CAPACITY to serve more than ever. Looking forward to grow even more!

Excited to find the skills to preach the gospel to other for 2026!

Austin AYM has grown over the past year which has been a big blessing!

There was a time this year where I was distant from God and felt that I couldn’t come back; but when I turned to him with an honest heart and He welcomed me with open arms.

God has sustained me through all the changes in 2025!

God has completely transformed the outlook of my life and its purpose.

This past year has been filled with so much joy, which I have been able to experience through my strengthened relationship with God!

Going into 2025, I had all sorts of worries and plans about my future, but God surprised me and showed me his way was much better than I could have imagined!

The Lord saved me from my sin in 2025, and I know He will continue to save me whenever I need

Connecting with others from different college campuses and making new friends :)

He gave me the strength to finish my quarter string and my first year.

I was blessed with people to care about me and my wellbeing.

I have been renewed and changed for the better

Excited to be addressed by God and fellowship with people from across the country to be FUELED to serve God in 2026!

I'm looking forward to hearing from God's word to be galvanized to do His work in the new year!

Excited to see where God will lead me

Looking forward to our church being stirred by what we hear, being stretched and continuing to meet the needs of our generation.

Excited for new challenges, experiences and ways God is going to work this coming year!

God did some amazing things in 2025, and I'm excited to see God do more, bigger, and greater things in 2026!

Looking forward to how God will work as I surrender myself to his WILL.

Learning how to be a servant this year through building up the body of Christ!

Thankful for our campus fellowship and excited to see how God will work in my heart and at UCSC in 2026!

God has blessed me w so many people i would be able love and spread that love to others.

Still a pretty new Christian, I asked God to push and stretch me this year, and I got just that! ...

I’m looking forward to worshipping my savior everyday in 2026!! Not just in song but through the way I walk, talk, and act!!!
