Baptist Campus Ministries developing future Christian leaders

Abby Hostetler and Mark Wisler, student leaders in the Baptist Campus Ministry at Eastern Kentucky University, returned last week from their final Beach Reach in Panama City encouraged and emboldened in their faith and future.

They were part of a group of 86 EKU students who spent their spring break sharing the gospel with other college students seeking a different kind of experience at the beach.

Check out more stories on Beach Reach and Baptist Campus Ministry. 

Beach Reach brings together students who are passionate about evangelism. In Panama City, students from the EKU BCM put that passion into action — driving 16 minivans through areas near bars and clubs from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m., offering free rides to anyone who called and ministering to them once inside the van.

During the week, they had gospel conversations with 408 college students, prayed with more than 800 people and saw nine individuals make professions of faith.

Full story.
