For immediate release
In December, Baptist Collegiate Ministry: Cheyenne restarted regular board game nights. On two consecutive Fridays, students meet at the director’s house. Various games were played for several hours.

Students were thrilled to begin coming over for games. Each night they enjoyed the fellowship and opportunity to hang out at the end of the semester.

In the coming semester, more game nights are in the works.

Come by Aaron and Melody’s for a game night this coming Friday, December 11.  Things will start at 7pm with pizza while it lasts.  We’ll be taking time to relax before finals by playing various board, card and video games.

Feel free to invite others.

On Thursday, November 20, 2009 the Baptist Collegiate Ministry hosted the Action Impact Missions. Action Impact Missions is an organization based out of Branson, Missouri. Action Impact Missions is a of twenty group middle school and high school students who combine mime, dancing, and music. The purpose of the presentation was to introduce Jesus to the college campus in an unique way.

Action Impact Missions performed for thirty minutes. There was a large attendance of one hundred people. During this performance the students danced and mimed to six different songs. The closing statement from Ashley Vandeberghe, the local campus leader, was “Remember Jesus love you”.

Johsua Phelps stated, “that the performance from the Action Impact Missions was very well done. The acts went accordingly with the songs. The young students appeared to have been very well prepared and had rehearsed many times. They entered the first skit with Jesus walking in stage right. All of the ‘people’ were in a kneeling/ praying position. The devil started attacking them. Jesus continues walking through. Then at the end of the final skit it has Jesus portrayed as hanging on the cross.”

ACTION Impact Missions is a lifestyle discipleship ministry seeking to bring about a paradigm shift in families and Christian ministries around the world. Through dedicated and intense character training and a structured and active discipleship/mentoring system, AIM challenges Christians to strive for Christ-like excellence in every area of their lives.

Is God Calling Me?, is a book by Dr. Jeff Iorg that is based on a sermon series he gave in 2006 at Student Week in Glorieta, NM.  It is about the various ways God calls people to the ministry.  It a fantastic read to learn about what it means to be called by God as well as various ways he does so.

If you’d rather listen to the four part sermon series, here is a link to hear them.

This summer we will be meeting at Aaron’s House at 7015 N College Dr. each Saturday.  Come join us for supper cooked on the grill.  Also each week we’ll sing songs and study a passage from Acts.

Hope to see you there.

The Process 

It all starts with the people.  No social, political, or economical entity that has withstood the tests of time started from an iron-fisted leadership.  No one person or group of persons dictated how things would be.  They sought the opinions of their constituents.  The people fashioned the entities into what they wanted.  When they deviate from the wants of the people, the people put them back on track.  It all starts with the people. 

One person has an idea.  Be it an idea for an activity, service, or product; someone conceives an idea.  That person shares the idea with others.  Those people jump on the bandwagon to make that idea actually happen.  The founders then invite others to join in implementing the idea.  Finally, the idea becomes a full-blown reality that is continuously gaining momentum and supporters.  That is the Grassroots Movement; the process by which synergistic movements gain their perpetual motion.
