Initial contact crucial to college ministry

In just under a month students will be flooding back to our universities and colleges across Arkansas as they begin a new semester or start their college journey. Baptist Collegiate Ministry (BCM) leaders across our state have worked over the summer to ensure that many of these students, especially our freshmen, have received an individual contact from us as directors, or from one of our student leaders.
