Hey everybody, Andy here. I'm actually in Bellfield's kitchen right now, about to cook a full Thanksgiving meal for students tonight. It's going to include turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, scalloped potatoes—all from scratch. Cooking is something I just love doing. It’s a way I can show love to people, serve them, and be hospitable. As many of you may know, one of Jesus's main ways of evangelizing was by sitting down and sharing a meal with people. It’s a way we can let our guards down, be vulnerable with each other, and ultimately serve.

All of this is possible for two reasons: first, because God has allowed me to do it, and second, because of all of you—your support, your love, and your prayers. I thank you all so very much for allowing me to do this.

Now, I could update you on the campaign and how finances are doing, but I’m not going to do that right now. I just want to take this time to thank you. After all, it is Thanksgiving. I want to thank you all for your unwavering love toward me, my family, and this ministry. Your love for college students, and your desire to see them proclaim Jesus and see God’s kingdom come to Pittsburgh, means so much. I can't thank you enough for that.

Instead of me rambling on, let me just repeat Paul's words to the church in Philippi, and that will be my closing:

"I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all, making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. And I am sure of this: He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ." 

This is the word of the Lord. I thank you all so very much, and I love you. Have a great Thanksgiving.

Andy: Hey, everybody! Andy here, and today I’m with Mikayla, one of our student leaders. Mikayla, could you tell everyone a bit about yourself?

Mikayla: Sure! I’m Mikayla Hetrick, a senior here at Pitt, studying Communication Sciences and Disorders—which is essentially the pre-Speech Pathology major. I’m originally from Los Angeles, so the East Coast is pretty new to me.

I’m on the Freshman Ministry Team at Cornerstone, where I work a lot with freshmen and new students. I also help lead the Freshman Bible Study along with a partner.

Andy: That’s wonderful! How did you hear about Cornerstone?

Mikayla: I actually heard about Cornerstone through my mom. She went to Penn State, and some of her old leaders joined the CCO (Coalition for Christian Outreach) after she graduated. She encouraged me to find a CCO-related fellowship, so I checked out Cornerstone’s website, reached out, and connected with a student leader who introduced me to the group.

Andy: That’s awesome! We’re so glad to have you. What has Cornerstone meant to you?

Mikayla: Cornerstone has been an amazing experience. I’ve learned so much—about myself, about the Lord, and about what it means to live in community in college. It’s been great to be surrounded by other college students who are in the same stage of life. Before, many of my friends were grad students or already working, so getting involved at Cornerstone was my first real opportunity to “do life” with peers who understand what it’s like to be a college student.

Through Cornerstone, the Lord has taught me a lot about leadership—especially about leading others well, following the Lord closely, and helping others grow in their faith. It’s involved a lot of surrender, humility, and letting go of control, which has been challenging but really rewarding. I can see how God was preparing me for this season of leadership, even before I took on the role.

Andy: That’s wonderful! Do you have anything you’d like to say to those watching—my supporters?

Mikayla: Yes, absolutely! Hi, Andy’s supporters! I just want to thank you for the way you’ve supported Andy in his ministry here at Bellefield and Cornerstone. He’s such a joy to be around each week—full of wisdom and always willing to share it. He’s been a great leader for this fellowship, and I know I, along with many other students, really look up to him. His humility and willingness to admit mistakes make him more relatable, and it helps us see Christ’s humanity through him.

To all of you who support Andy, on behalf of everyone at Cornerstone, thank you so much for your generosity. It means so much to us! Your support makes a huge difference, even beyond just Andy—it blesses all of us as well.

Andy: Thank you, Mikayla, and thank you to everyone who has shown love and support. There’s still time to contribute to the campaign—I’m aiming to raise $3,000 by Christmas. You can find the link below, in my bio, or you can donate through the usual channels. Thank you all!

Hey everyone! I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share a quick update on what’s been happening with both Cornerstone and the Moore family.

First, Cornerstone. This past weekend, we took part in the CCO Western Pennsylvania Fall Retreat. This was actually our first time attending this particular retreat, held in Ligonier, PA. It was a fantastic experience, full of connection and fellowship. We enjoyed a mix of play, rest, and worship—everything you could hope for in a retreat. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect deeply with each other and with God, and we definitely plan to attend again in the future!

On the home front, things have been steady. Joshua recently had his first start as a wide receiver in a game against Pittsburgh powerhouse, Westinghouse. Unfortunately, on the first play, he took a hit to the head and ended up with a minor concussion. Thankfully, he’s recovering well, and his team is moving forward to States, where they’ll be playing Punxsutawney this Saturday. Please keep him in your prayers for a continued smooth recovery and a strong game.

Asher has been diving into Esports and is absolutely loving it! It’s a new adventure for him, and he’s enjoying every moment. Ben has officially submitted all his college applications, and now we’re eagerly awaiting responses. We’re hopeful and excited about what’s next for him!

I also want to express my deep gratitude for each of you. Thank you for your ongoing support—whether through financial contributions or prayer. Your encouragement, especially during challenging and joyful times, means so much to us, and I pray that God blesses each of you abundantly.

If you’d like to support us further, we’re aiming to raise $3,000 by Christmas. You can donate either through our usual giving platform or via the campaign link, both of which are included below (or in my bio).

Thank you all again, and may God richly bless each of you!

Hey friends, I hope you're all doing well! 

First, I want to apologize for two things: 

1. This video is late.

2. My voice sounds off because I was diagnosed with bronchitis yesterday. (Bronchitis—ain’t nobody got time for that!)

I just wanted to give you a quick update on our finances. In short, we’re doing fairly well. If you look at our campaign and where we currently stand percentage-wise, it might not seem like much, but many have been giving the regular way of donating. We truly appreciate all of your love, support, and kindness. We really feel it!

That said, we’re not completely out of the woods yet. We'd like to raise the balance in our ministry account by about $3,000, just to have a cushion that allows us to continue ministering to students. So, I’d ask that you prayerfully consider donating to the campaign—or setting up a regular donation if that’s more convenient. 

The links for donations are below or in my bio.

Again, thank you all so much. I love you, and God bless!

Andy: Hey everyone, Andy here! Today, I'm with Gabby, who’s going to tell us a little bit about herself and Cornerstone. So, Gabby, tell us about yourself.

Gabby: Hi, my name is Gabby. I’m a senior studying anthropology. I'm on the Wednesday Night Team; I help make slides, schedule night topics, and handle other fun stuff. I also help with women’s ministry.

Andy: Yep, Gabby does a lot here! So, how did you first hear about Cornerstone?

Gabby: I actually heard about Cornerstone through attending Bellefield Church. I just kind of walked in one day, and immediately someone asked me, "Hey, have you heard about Cornerstone?" I said I hadn’t, and now here I am!

Andy: That’s awesome! What would you say Cornerstone has meant to you?

Gabby: For me, Cornerstone has been a place where I’ve been able to really develop my spiritual maturity and ask questions about God. Since I didn’t grow up in the church, it was important for me to have a place where I could explore my faith and talk to people from different backgrounds.

Andy: That’s awesome! Lastly, Gabby, we have some of my supporters, my friends, watching. What would you like to say to them?

Gabby: I’d just like to say thank you for all you do in supporting Andy. He’s been amazing as a campus minister. He even wrote my letter of recommendation for grad school! He does so much to support students here, and I’m really grateful.

Andy: Thank you, Gabby! And thank you all for your support and love. If you’d like to donate to our new campaign or give regularly, the links will be below. God bless!

Hey everyone,

I wanted to take a moment to give you a quick update on what's happening with Cornerstone and in the Moore household.

First, Cornerstone. I just got back from our first-ever Rest and Relaxation Retreat! Normally, we would be preparing for our Fall Retreat around this time, but this year, we're participating in the CCO's Western Pennsylvania Fall Retreat, which takes place in late October. With such a long gap between the start of the school year and that retreat, we felt the need to create something to fill that space.

The Fall Retreat has always been a time for people to connect, get involved, and deepen their relationship with God, so we decided to host a Rest and Relaxation Retreat. It gave us a chance to get away, reflect on the importance of having a Sabbath weekend, and boost morale. We had about 20 people join, and I did a bit of teaching. It was a truly wonderful time.

On a personal note, not much new, but on September 21st, I went before the Presbytery of the Alleghenies, with about 150 people present, for an examination to go "under care." I'm happy to report that I passed! I’m now officially under the care of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. Next up are the ordination exams, and if all goes well, I could be ordained as early as February—it's coming up fast!

As for the family, not much to report there either. Ben just got his senior pictures done, which I'll post. Josh and Ben are both recovering from COVID, which recently hit our household, but thankfully, I haven't caught it—at least not yet! Please keep them in your prayers as they continue to recover.

Well, that’s all the news I have for now. I hope you’re doing well and feeling blessed. Have a great day!

Hello friends, Andy here! I just want to give you a quick financial update.

Over the past few weeks, about half a dozen people have either approached me or texted me, asking, "How are you doing financially? I know you have a campaign going on." The answer is, for the past couple of months, I’ve actually been doing pretty well. I’ve raised quite a bit through the campaign, a few people have generously donated through the usual means, and I’ve also gained some new donors, which has been amazing — a true testament to God's provision. I’m incredibly grateful to those of you who’ve been concerned about my financial situation, who’ve been praying for me, and to everyone who has supported me. 

However, I’m not entirely out of the woods yet. I still need to raise a little more to have a comfortable cushion in my ministry account. That’s where I need your help. I’m asking you to prayerfully consider donating to my campaign or sharing this message to help spread the word. 

I know that fundraising isn’t the most glamorous thing in the world, but it’s a powerful reminder of God’s provision. It can be a little scary at times — we can become so self-centered that we think everything depends on us. But trusting in God and relying on His provision is essential, and that’s what I’m striving to do.

So, thank you to everyone who has supported me and to those who will continue to support, whether through prayer or financial contributions. I humbly ask that you prayerfully consider giving to the campaign or sharing this video.

Thank you, and God bless!
