Why BSM?
"A friend introduced me to the BSM and everyone there seemed really nice and so warm and welcoming... there was rarely a moment that you were alone before someone would come up and introduce themselves and start talking to you... trying to help you out maybe with what professors to take, or where your classes were. The more I went on Thursday nights, the more I was challenged in the Lord and my walk with Him began to grow more then it had in a while! The heart of the BSM is also amazing-- its where it should be. I have gone to the BSM on empty SO many times, and I have always left refreshed and renewed."
-Becky Rabb (Class of '09)
"Arriving at SFA I looked for a solid group of friends and a ministry to be involved in. [The BSM was full] of friendly faces ready to serve the Lord."
-Zach Wood (Class of '09)
“BSM was a safe harbor for me as I learned to use my gifts and share Christ in a secular environment. At a critical moment in my spiritual life, the discipleship I received through SFA’s BSM helped me to see God’s work in our world and to hear His call to the unreached.”
“The BSM was instrumental in establishing a foundation for me as a new Christian. I asked God into my life in the spring of 1996 and the BSM was the first contact I had with the Christian community at SFA. It was at the BSM that God used Kyle Klemcke (Director) and students in the BSM leadership to deepen my understanding of the truth of Jesus Christ and my identity as His child. My experience at the BSM was truly life changing; it was where I realized the joy of walking with Christ and of sharing His love with the world around me.”
“I am ever so grateful to our Sovereign God for sending me to SFASU and prompting me by His spirit to be involved with the BSM. During those four and a half years, I grew tremendously in my relationship with the Father through Leadership, small group Bible studies, mission trips, and ministry opportunities. Those years had a huge part preparing me to serve Him among the nations.”
“When I think of what the BSU meant to me, family is the first thing that comes to mind. Someone always seemed to be there to help me get through “college life” stuff. But most importantly, there was the blessed leadership team that played the “parental” role and aided in my spiritual growth in so many ways. I cannot leave out the fun that I had with the BSU; retreats, noon lunch, intramurals, etc. Because of the “family” I found in the BSU, many special memories and lessons are cherished, and I am sure that others cherish similar memories.”
“Because of the Baptist Student Ministry’s impact, I believe I have a deeper and richer knowledge of Christ. My involvement in the BSM has taught me about genuine Christian leadership. I thank the Lord for the gift of this organization because it has allowed me to see Jesus as who He truly is.”
“God has worked in amazing ways here at SFA. I know that I have been transformed while working with the mature students that have come here. God, in his sovereignty, has blessed us by bringing students here who want to change the world! The last eleven years have been the greatest days of my life. Thank You for the privilege of being a part of this ministry.”
