An Easter Outreach Idea for Next Year, Kevin Inman

 "10th Annual LaTegg Glow in the Dark Easter Egg Hunt"

Five local churches (Temple, First, Cooke, Calvary and Emmanuel) and BCM sponsor this evangelistic outreach at Louisiana Tech University.  The event kicks off with hot pancakes being cooked and served at 7:30 p.m.  Student leaders register and talk with students attending the event.  At 8:30 p.m. adorned with glow sticks and LED lights students hunt Easter eggs in the Louisiana Tech Quad.  Besides Easter eggs filled with candy, some eggs have slips of paper where students win gift cards to restaurants and coffee shops.  

Prizes are also won from those who register for the event.  After the egg hunt and before the winners of gift cards and grand prizes are given out, a student shares their personal testimony, and one of our college pastors shares the gospel after the prizes are given out.  The churches and BCM give out ice cream sandwiches and have Gospel Conversations with students.  One new student leader came up to me with a big smile on her face and said, "I was just able to start a Gospel conversation."  I asked her how it came about and she said, "I saw her sitting on a bench by herself with a sack of eggs she had found and so me and a friend went up to her and introduced ourselves and started a conversation."  They are going to meet up next week to continue their talk.  This leader is about 5 feet tall and weighs about 100 pounds, but her boldness in Christ to share His love is as big as a college football linebacker!  

Casey Cassidy, Temple; Chase Sanders, First; Mike Houston, Calvary; West Pierce, Cooke and Chris Campbell, Emmanuel are our great partners to reach our campus for Christ.  I so appreciate them and the hundreds of churches that sponsor BCM in Louisiana.
