I am a Campus Minister with a Christian organization known as the CCO. I work at Bellefield Presbyterian Church, with a student organization called Cornerstone, to minister to students at the University of Pittsburgh and surrounding campuses.
I just want to give a quick update on how we’re doing financially. In short, last month was wonderful! I can’t thank you all enough for your generosity, kindness, and the way you sacrificially give. Truly, I can’t thank you enough.
We made more than double what we needed last month—praise God! But we’re still not quite out of the woods yet and could still use some financial help. There are multiple ways you can support us:
Give – You can give monthly, or you can give a one-time gift. Any gift is a good gift!
Share – You can share my need with your friends and family, or even share this social media post.
Tithe Your Tax Return – I know it’s still early to think about your tax return, but you could always tithe a portion of it to help us.
Pray – Pray that God would provide—not just financially, but also spiritually for the students at Pitt.
Again, I thank you all so much for your generosity and kindness. God bless!
Andy: Hey everybody, Andy here! We’re in Topsail, North Carolina, on a spring break trip with Habitat for Humanity, helping to build affordable housing. I’m here with Josh Hamilton, one of the leaders of Cornerstone. Josh, why don’t you introduce yourself?
Josh: Hey! My name is Josh Hamilton. I’m a junior studying mechanical engineering at Pitt, and I’m also on the leadership team for Cornerstone as one of the worship leaders. I play drums on the worship team.
Andy: And he’s awesome at it too!
Josh: Oh, thank you!
Andy: So, Josh, how did you first get involved with Cornerstone?
Josh: I actually found out about Cornerstone on my very first day at Pitt. One of my best friends, Jay Suggs—who’s also a leader at Cornerstone—was wearing a Cornerstone shirt when we met at open Ultimate Frisbee tryouts. He’s way better than I am, but we still had a great time.
At the time, I didn’t think much of it, but about five or six months later, the college ministry I had been attending conflicted with my chemistry lab. So, I decided to tag along with Jay to a Cornerstone meeting—and I never looked back!
Andy: That’s awesome! We’re really glad to have you there. What has Cornerstone meant to you?
Josh: The biggest thing it has given me is a real sense of community. During my first semester, I had friends, but they were mostly just people I happened to live near. It wasn’t until I started coming to Cornerstone that I found a close-knit group of friends—people I genuinely wanted to spend time with outside of the events. That sense of belonging and doing life together has been really special.
Andy: That’s incredible. Lastly, is there anything you’d like to say to my supporters?
Josh: Just a huge thank you! Andy’s an amazing leader—he told me not to say that, but I’m saying it anyway! We really appreciate everything you do. Your support helps us put on great events and, most importantly, bring more people to Christ.
Andy: Absolutely! Thank you all so much. There’s still plenty of time to give—the links will be in my bio or below. Thanks again, Josh, and God bless!
I just wanted to give you a quick update on everything happening with Cornerstone and the Moore household. Actually, there’s not much going on in the Moore household right now, so this will mainly be a Cornerstone update.
This past weekend, we attended the Jubilee Conference, which, amazingly, marked my 20th time going! From being a student attendee to now being on staff, it’s been an incredible experience every time.
For those who may not know, the Jubilee Conference helps students develop a holistic Christian worldview. It’s about understanding that if God truly cares about everything, then He cares about your vocation, your major, your hobbies—every part of your life. This conference encourages students to embrace that mindset.
We took 25 Cornerstone students, and when you include students from Pitt and Chatham, we had a total of 34 in our group. As always, it was a wonderful time! Worshiping alongside nearly 3,000 people and lifting up the name of Jesus is such a refreshing and powerful experience.
This Saturday, I’ll be heading out with a group of students on our spring break trip with Habitat for Humanity to Wilmington, North Carolina. This will be our fourth time serving in Wilmington, and it’s always a privilege to go.
We have 17 or 18 students joining us this year, and we’ll be working together to build a home while deepening our friendships and faith. It’s such an awesome experience, and I’d love for you to keep us in your prayers as we travel and serve.
I want to express my gratitude to everyone who has donated so far—your support makes all of this possible! If you’d still like to give, there’s still time. You can find the donation links in my bio and below.
Hey everyone, I hope you're doing well! I just wanted to give you a quick financial update on how things are going.
I don’t have all the final numbers yet—I’ll have those at the end of the month—but so far, it looks like I’m on track to earn more this month than I did last month. Thank you all so much for your generosity! Your support truly makes a difference.
That being said, I could still use your help, and there are a few ways you can support me:
Give – You can make a one-time donation or set up a recurring monthly gift. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference!
Share – Spread the word about my needs. Sharing with friends, family, or others who might want to help is a huge way to support me.
Tithe from Your Tax Return – It may seem early, but as you think about filing your taxes, consider setting aside a portion to support this ministry.
Pray – Please pray for this ministry, for my financial needs, and most importantly, that college students would come to know Jesus Christ.
I’m incredibly grateful for each of you—thank you again for your generosity and prayers. I’ll continue praying for you as well.
Andy: Hey everybody! I’m here with Jaden, my Student of the Month. So, Jaden, why don’t you tell everybody about yourself?
Jaden: Hello! My name is Jaden. I’m a senior at the University of Pittsburgh, studying Information Science and Computer Science.
Andy: Awesome! And Jaden, how did you find out about Cornerstone?
Jaden: I found out from my freshman roommate—his dad actually went to Pitt and did Cornerstone during his time here.
Andy: Oh, cool! You want to name-drop?
Jaden: Oh yeah! Mr. Suggs—thank you!
Andy: And what would you say Cornerstone has meant to you?
Jaden: I think it’s meant a lot to me because it’s not just about learning more about God. It’s about seeing people who actually live their faith and what that looks like in the community—whether that’s in the wider Pittsburgh area or right here on campus.
Andy: That’s awesome! And for all my supporters and friends listening, is there anything you’d like to say to them?
Jaden: Thank you, guys! Cornerstone has been a great thing for a lot of people.
Andy: Yes, thank you very much! And there’s still plenty of time to give—the link for that will be below or in my bio. Thank you, Jaden, and thanks to everyone listening. Bye!
I just wanted to give you a quick update on everything happening with Cornerstone, the Moore household, and a brief financial update.
Cornerstone Update
Our large group started a few weeks ago, and we’ve been going through a series on the prophets of the Bible—including both the Major and Minor Prophets, as well as prophets mentioned in other books. It’s incredible how, even after thousands of years, these men and women of God continue to speak to us. I believe this has been a valuable lesson for the students as well.
Family Update
Since I wasn’t able to share an update last month, I wanted to take a moment to do so now. We spent Christmas in Eaton, Colorado, Emily’s hometown, visiting and staying with my father-in-law, LeRoy. We also got to spend time with Emily’s sisters, Leslie and Polly. It was such a wonderful and relaxing time!
One of the highlights of our trip was the game room Leroy built in his basement—complete with pinball, shuffleboard, air hockey, foosball, and darts. We had an absolute blast playing together! Though, I have to admit, waking up to the sound of pinball in the morning wasn’t quite as fun—but at least the boys were enjoying themselves!
I also had the opportunity to share a brief missions update at the Evangelical Free Church of Eaton, the church Emily grew up in. This church has been a huge support to my ministry from the very beginning, and they’ve continued to support us throughout the years. It’s especially meaningful to us because it’s where Emily came to Christ and where we got married. It was such a blessing to reconnect with so many friends there.
Financial Update
I know I shared a detailed financial update last time, but I just want to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who has reached out to check in on us. I’m incredibly grateful for those who have made generous one-time donations, as well as for our new monthly supporters—it truly means so much.
Right now, I don’t have an exact update on our financial needs, as I won’t have all the numbers until the end of the month. But I’ll be able to share a more precise update in a few days once I have everything organized.
For those who still wish to give, there’s still time! You can donate through the campaign or the usual giving methods—the links will be below (or above).
Thank you all so much for your continued support. I love you all, and God bless!
Hi everybody, it’s Andy!
I hope you’re doing well and staying warm. Before I begin, I want to ask you—please don’t skip this video because I really need your help.
Over the past couple of months, I’ve been doing well with support raising and have been able to meet my financial needs. However, I’ve come to realize that a lot of the support I’ve received consists of one-time gifts. Right now, I’m in a position where I’m just treading water financially.
When I recently reviewed my finances, I realized that if I were to have just one bad month, my entire ministry account could be wiped out—and that’s not a good place to be.
So, I’m calling on you and asking for your help.
Currently, I’m raising $6,500 a month, which is a significant challenge. I’ve been exploring ways to adjust my budget, such as finding a cheaper insurance option, but right now, I need your support.
Here are some ways you can help:
1. Give Financially
If you’re able to give financially, that would mean the world to us. Whether you’re already giving or you want to contribute for the first time, every gift matters.
If you already support us, I humbly ask you to consider increasing your support by 10% to 25%. That increase would be an incredible blessing.
If you’re new to supporting us, even a one-time gift would be deeply appreciated.
2. Tithe from Your Tax Return
I’d like to bring back an idea I’ve used in the past: “tithing your tax return.” It’s early to start thinking about filing your taxes, but when the time comes, I ask you to prayerfully consider donating 10% of your tax return to our ministry. This approach has been so fruitful in the past, and I’d love to see it make an impact again.
3. Share This Video
Another way you can help is by spreading the word. Share this video with others or talk to your friends or relatives about me and the needs of this ministry. Your advocacy would be a huge blessing.
4. Pray
Finally, and most importantly, please pray. Pray for this ministry, for our financial needs, and that God’s kingdom will continue to grow and thrive through our work.
I want to thank you so much for watching this video, for your past support, and for the love you’ve shown me and this ministry. Your continued support means the world to me, and I pray that God blesses you richly for it.
