Graduation day is one of the most exciting times in college ministry! Does that surprise you? Now before you start to protest, it isn’t because of the long graduation speeches or hundreds of people crammed together to watch. Graduation is the launching pad to send out Baptist Collegiate Ministry (BCM) students across the globe for ministry and mission. Colt Booth is one of those students. After working on staff for three years at BCM, he is graduating with his degree from Midwestern Seminary. It is our privilege to launch Colt into his next stage of ministry! Here are some reflections from him on the impact of BCM in his life.      

The calendar year in college ministry is dominated by two months: August and September – the start of school. However, summers are the downtime in a college student’s life. This reflection is one of the key factors that led the Little Rock Baptist Collegiate Ministry (BCM) along with our group of amazing churches to rethink our summer strategy and birth the Little Rock Project.  

Building an evangelistic culture is no small feat for any church or organization. Even many missions sending agencies struggle to build this culture. When it comes to laying a foundation for this culture one of the most important components to remember is consistency.  

Fall semester in the life of a college minister cannot be any more exciting! Welcome week, first day of class, meeting lots of new people, and having the opportunity to share Jesus among all the activities. This past semester God moved and we had several students decide to follow Christ and several who have rekindled their love for Jesus. 

The college campus is an explosion of character, culture, education, ideology, religion, lifestyle, and worldview.
