The Lord has done it! DiscipleMakers has now reached 26 college campuses across Pennsylvania!
In previous newsletters, we've shared about our ministry wide goal created in 2015 to reach 25 campuses by 2025. From the beginning, this felt like an ambitious goal, but the Lord is so much bigger than we can ever fathom.

Through many ups and downs (and 2020 lockdowns!), we have seen God's faithfulness to raise up the next generation of students to know and love Him.
While we are excited about hitting these numbers, we are more encouraged by the depth of the faith of our students. We are seeing more and more hungry students engaging with God's word, becoming fully committed to serving Christ with their lives.
|
One especially encouraging story of reaching more campuses comes from the Penn State Berks campus. Watch this video below to hear about how God has multiplied this ministry even in our limited efforts:
|
Praise God for His work in these students! Praise God for increasing our faith in Him through his gracious answer to our decade long prayers!
|
What's Next? We're not quite sure yet. For now our ministry is enjoy this next year as a celebration and praise to what God has done. We will continue on faithfully maintaining these campuses we've been entrusted with, knowing He goes before us in all things.

We (TJ & Kate) have been serving DiscipleMakers for about 9 years now! Through those years, the Lord has been incredibly gracious to continue to provide financially and we know He will continue to do so.
However, over the past year, we have had a number of donors end their support for various reasons. Therefore, we have a need to raise about $700 in regularly monthly support.
If you feel led to help meet this need, you can manage or start your giving, you can do so at the link below. Scroll down the page until you find our picture! You can also contact us directly to discuss further.

Prayers & Praises Praise God for helping DiscipleMakers reach 26 campuses by 2025! Pray for perseverance for our staff as we continue to reach more students with the gospel for years to come! Pray for the Lord to provide the financial support needed. Pray for us as we prepare to be a family of 4 in February! Pray for Kate's energy to increase, and also to take times of rest. Pray for wisdom as we consider our involvement in DM, church, and more as we welcome this new baby.
|
Thank you for your continued prayers and support. We are constantly in awe of God's work on the college campus and delight to share it with you. If there are any ways that we can pray for you, please let us know!
In Christ, TJ & Kate Renninger

Baby #2 due February 2026! We are overjoyed by this little baby! God certainly has astonished us. We praise Him for giving us this life without needing any fertility treatments like with Asher.
Kate has been doing pretty well so far, but the fatigue has been pretty intense. It's definitely different this time with chasing a toddler around while pregnant!
|
It certainly has been a fun few months lately. Asher loves being outside any chance he gets! He had the best time camping in May and going kayaking. A few weeks later, Asher fell off a chair and broke his arm. Despite this, he was in good spirits and not too bothered by the splint he wore for just 2 weeks! This summer, he's also loved going in the pool or just playing with water. Visiting Nana's pool (Kate's mom) was a real highlight for him!
