For those that don’t know me, my name is Brian Moody. I am the newest Campus Leader to Christian Collegian Network. My campus is Christopher Newport University in Newport News, Virginia.
In this new semester, I have had some quality time at the campus. I set up by a cross-walk where the students walk from their dorm to class and vice versa. This is because I’m not a recognized ministry allowed to operate on campus at the moment. I thank God this crosswalk is off campus, but I still see as many students as I would if I was on campus. So far in this semester I have had some good conversations with students where I started the conversation using the IQ test questions and more recently I purchased a white board where I can ask intriguing questions to break the ice. This has led to more than one conversation with students, where I was able to take them through the Ten Commandments and share the gospel with them. I even had one Mom and her daughter who to my knowledge has no connection to the university, who was driving down the road and saw my question on my white board and stopped to talk, I was also able to take them through the Ten Commandments and share the gospel with them.
I have been able to follow up with Christian students and see how they are doing since being back from Christmas break. Their names are “Manzi and Julian.” Manzi I have spoken with twice now and Julian I have spoken with on four or five separate occasions. Julian is actually a part of CRU and is a Bible study leader, and he did get to witness me witnessing to that Mom and her daughter I mentioned earlier. I was happy he got to see that, and I praise the Lord for that. I look forward to seeing what the Lord will do on this campus. Campuses can be tough for students, both Christian and non-Christian. The Christian students can be looked down upon for their faith. Non Christians are believing the lie from their anti God, Jesus, and Bible environment. While there are organizations like CRU on campus, CCN is most likely the only one on this campus that shares the gospel the way Jesus did. The non Christians students need to hear the biblical gospel. The Christian students need to be taught to share the gospel biblically and to have serious Bible study. There are also the cults at the campus. I have seen Jehovah’s Witnesses stand in the same spot where I stand before. I ask that you would support my ministry at this campus with prayer firstly and if you feel like the Lord is pressing you to give financially, I hope you would join me in supporting this ministry in that way. Another great support is encouraging words, any type of ministry can be hard, so an encouraging word can be fueled to keep plowing. Thank you!
In His service,

January TCC Campuses Newsletter!
This month I just been sharing the gospel One 2 One with students inside the school buildings at TCC. I also Open Air Preached on TCC Chesapeake Campus twice, which led me to have a gospel conversation with a satanist student.
1/27/26
I shared the gospel with Sophie and Kareem in the Student Center Portsmouth Campus. They were very friendly! I pray that they will both think seriously about their eternal salvation!
45 minutes later I was able to talk to Tracy on the 2nd floor of the Student Center and took her through the good person test and shared the gospel with her. She was very receptive to the gospel, after finishing my conversation with Tracy , I continued walking around the 2nd floor until I found 2 young female students who I also took through the good person test and shared the gospel with.
Prayer List for me a Missionary on the College Campus and beyond!
1. Pray that I find a Christian friend who would be willing to labor with me in the gospel.
2. Pray for souls would be saved as the gospel spreads around TCC Campuses.
3. Pray that I would find students to want to have Bible Study.
4. Pray for my safety.

Dear Friends and Prayer Partners,
Thank you, as always, for your continued prayers, encouragement, and support. I want to share a brief update on what the Lord has been doing this month, even as some plans required adjustment.
Due to circumstances beyond our control, we delayed our in-person campus gatherings. While that was disappointing, the ministry has certainly not stopped. We continued meeting through other means—phone calls, Zoom conversations, and one-on-one communication—and the Lord has used these quieter spaces in meaningful ways.
During this time, we prayerfully planned out the semester ahead, including upcoming outreaches, Bible studies, and fellowship opportunities. It has been a fruitful season of preparation, and I am encouraged by the clarity and direction the Lord is giving.
One of the greatest joys this month has been meeting by phone with a new believer who has many questions. He has found his Savior, and now his desire is to know Him more deeply. It is truly a privilege to walk alongside him and be part of his discipleship as he grows in understanding Scripture and the character of Christ.
We were also grateful for our first fellowship gathering of the semester, graciously hosted by Daniel. Students came together for pizza, drinks, and a time of fellowship—simple, but sweet. These moments of connection help build relationships that open the door to gospel conversations and ongoing discipleship.
As the Apostle Paul expressed his gratitude to the believers in Philippi—thanking them for standing with him, laboring side by side for the advance of the gospel, and supporting him financially—I share that same gratitude with you. Your prayers and support are not peripheral to this ministry; they are essential. You are partners in the work God is doing on campus.
These young people are the future of this earth. What shapes their minds today will shape the direction of our families, our communities, and our country tomorrow. They are being flooded with information from every social media platform, and increasingly through artificial intelligence, which can be deceptive and often untethered from truth. They are constantly being discipled—but not always by voices that care about the outcome of their lives.
Scripture warns us of false shepherds and reminds us of an enemy whose goal is death. In contrast, students desperately need God’s Word—truth that does not shift, truth that equips them to discern error, and truth that leads to life. They also need faithful believers willing to walk beside them, answer questions, and model what it looks like to follow Christ in a confused world.
This is why help on campus matters so deeply. If you are able, please prayerfully consider how you might come alongside this ministry—through prayer, encouragement, financial support, or involvement. The need is great, the harvest is ready, and the work cannot be done alone.
Thank you for standing with me and for sharing in this gospel work. I am deeply thankful for each of you, and for the quiet but powerful ways God is at work among students.
In Christ,
Mary Hinnant

It has been very cold in PA. Jen has been grateful for the time she has had out witnessing to the college students. She is grateful for those who are willing to go onto the college campus and share the gospel with her. Pray for all the students that heard the gospel.
