Colleges all across our state (and here at Northeast) are beginning to fill up with new and returning students. This is an exciting times in the lives of these students and their families.
One of the great ministries Alabama Baptist support is Baptist Campus Ministries. Our own, Wally Bryson, is BCM Director at Northeast. Pray for him and the student leaders as they plan for their year of Bible studies, fellowships and mission adventures. Their faculty advisor is Sherry Whitten.
The BCM at Northeast meets each Wednesday at noon for lunch and Bible study.
Did you know over 8,000 international students study in an Alabama college annually? Of these, did you know?
- 75% of the international students and scholars in America will never enter an American home.
- 80% will never enter a church while they are in America.
- 60% of these students and scholars come from countries with restricted access to the Gospel.
Let's pray for these students who come to Alabama from countries with restricted access to the Gospel. Pray God would raise up Christians to be friends on campus, families to welcome them into their home, churches to open their door and most importantly, for God to open their hearts to the Gospel.
There is an wonderful web site for connecting with the international community in our area. Visit
WelcomingtheNations.com to find resources. Or you may contact the Alabama Baptist State missionary Chris Mills via email at cmills@alsbom.org to learn more.
Or just speak to our own, Wally. God bless you Wally as you serve. You are in our prayers and support. If you have any questions about BCM or would like to know more about the ministry, contact Wally at wallyb.bryson1@gmail.com.
Laney York is sharing a testimony this Sunday night about her summer mission work in Louisville. Looking forward to hearing her.
