The State of the BSM

As BSM Montgomery approaches our FIRST BIRTHDAY (March 7th) we are reflecting on how far we've come in our first year. We are a toddler - we have our feet under us, we are beginning to walk, but we have a lot of work to do before we can run! So far:
  • Our relationships on and off campus are getting stronger.
  • Students are trusting BSM and spreading info by word of mouth. 
  • God is opening doors for weekly spiritual conversations on campus.
  • Church Partnerships continue to grow & develop.
  • FREE Lunches offered EVERY Tuesday (by an individual friends of BSM or local Church Partners).
  • Launching a monthly area wide college worship event.

The reality is that this is only possible because of the fantastic BSM Volunteers.  The details of weekly lunches are not possible without Krystal. The financial oversight & accountability of the ministry budget happens only because of Jennie.  Ryan adds a layer or partnership as a volunteer Associate Director that allows more feet on the ground as well as his expertise and love for students.

Tamara is our big picture person. Her experience with college students (since 1996), her education, and her gifting allows her to know what needs to happen for the BSM to move forward. She
  • recruits our fantastic volunteers
  • engages local pastors
  • forges church partnerships
  • develops relationships on campus
  • raises the BSM ministry budget

Tamara also raises her own salary as a Texas Baptist Missionary in order to minister @ BSM Montgomery. Tamara's currently at 65% of her salary for 2017-2018 school year. Which means she needs to raise another $750.00 per month before she is fully funded. PRAY for Tamara as she enters a season of personal fund raising - seeking a fully funded salary. Consider becoming one of her personal monthly supporters today?  If you have questions regarding partnership, Tamara would be happy to sit down with you for a conversation - email her to set up an appointment.

A GREAT WEEK FOR BSM!

I wanted to share with you the fantastic week BSM just had! Many answers to BSM Prayer Requests!
  • We were finally assigned a room on campus! Due to 100% chance of Thunderstorms on Tuesday we were going to have to cancel our FREE LUNCH or find a room. Our BSM President was able to secure us a room assignment for the rest of the semester in the high traffic building we originally requested @ the beginning of December.
  • Made a GREAT connection with the Student Life Office on campus! During the conversation the Student Life Director expressed a deeper level of TRUST and GRATITUDE for BSM being on campus. We are asking to partner with Student Life to help during Welcome Week next Fall, which will benefit both BSM & LoneStar's Student Life.  
  • We had encouraging meetings with TWO new local pastors!
  • Our Thursday exploreGod group (led by Ryan Gentles) had FIVE in attendance & a GREAT conversation about God.
  • We have a FREE LUNCH donor for every Tuesday this Spring!

NIGHT OF WORSHIP (NOW)

1/23/2017

As we seek to join God in what is happening locally among college students we've caught a VISION for what could be...  Tamara spent many of the Sunday's between Thanksgiving and New Years Day visiting college groups at local churches. There are pockets of 5-15 college students at many local churches. So, imagine what might happen if we gather local college students monthly and mobilize them to change their world!

A NIGHT OF WORSHIP (VISION):

To provide an event for local college students to gather together, to worship God, and to mobilize to reach their campus - their community - and their world with the love of Jesus.

HOW YOU CAN JOIN US:
  • PRAY as we plan and prepare this new monthly event.
  • PRAY for a BSM volunteer to coordinate these monthly events.
  • PRAY for partnership, excitement, and a shared vision from local churches and students. We're asking our church partners to host one of these events a semester, provide a meal after, and some kind of bonding game afterward to help create larger community.
