Please pray for students as they go back to their campuses and begin a new semester! Pray for those students who are considering serving this summer as summer missionaries
ETSU BCM Outreach
One of the greatest moments from this semester was seeing
these two students praying with a lost friend on campus. One
of our primary goals at the Baptist Collegiate Ministry is serving
the campus. Our students have been building relationships,
reaching out to students, giving spiritual surveys, and
evangelizing all over the campus. The BCM exists to reach
students for Christ, disciple students, build leaders for the
Kingdom, and mobilize students on mission around the world.
We can see all of these unfolding in this picture. Please pray
for our students as they continue to take The Gospel out to the
campus. Our students are truly taking The Light out to a dark
world. The BCM roots continue to go deep and we are
beginning to branch out in more ways than ever before.
