Two IMPORTANT College Ministry Dates

SEPTEMBER 30 - Monday, September 30th is the deadline to submit proposals to New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary to be considered for one of their $500 grants to be given to five different college ministries.  The proposal is to state what your ministry would do with the money and the possible impact or continuing value it would be to the on-going nature of your ministry or to the witness to the campus.  For information or to submit your proposal, email Dr. Beth Masters at bmasters@nobts.edu.  Beth serves as College Ministry Professor at NOBTS and is a friend to all of us that do college ministry. 

OCTOBER 10 - Engage24 is a 24 hour period focused on engaging the world with the good news of Christ.  While Engage24 is intensely focused on a single day of evangelism, the mission is to promote a 24/7 lifestyle of evangelism and engagement with the gospel.  Some campus ministries will do special projects on that day and others will focus on the one to one sharing of their students in their daily activities.  While this date has been set as the designated Engage24 date in the past, a specific day was not selected for this year.  However, many campus ministries have indicated that this will be the date for their emphasis as it has worked well within their school and ministry calendar.  Each campus can determine what will work best for them.
