Guys we had such a great turn out of the picnic!! I hope you all had a chance to listen to Roberts biblical message and not just…well hear but apply it to our lives today. Thank God everything worked out and we had such a great talent show–amazing and so much fun–try and think of a talent you might have and present it at the next BSM event–everyone has a talent This week we are starting our weeklong festivity on relationships. It is going to be a really cool week. Tomorrow we start with a campus wide flower giveaway. We will be on campus hanging out helpful information on dating. On Thursday we will have a special Free Lunch with fun games and Biblical discussion on love. On Thursday night we are having a Valentine’s party! We wills start at 8PM.
Hey GUYS! So this was so amazing Today we are starting the new semester at our new building. We praise God for providing this amazing facility where UTPA students can come to meet friends, hang out, and learn about God. If you visit our building often here is something you should now about parking: Today marked the culmination of an answer to prayer made a few months ago. It literally feels surreal that we were able to witness this day that will have an impact in the lives of thousands of students at UTPA for generations to come. At about 12 PM, the papers were signed that gave us full possession of the new Baptist Student Ministry building. The final walkthrough took about an hour. It was a legal transaction, however, for all of us BSM staff it was more than that, it was an answer to prayer, a testament to the amazing power of God to do that which is impossible for man to do. Many of you know that a few months ago we began praying that God would provide the funding needed to remodel our 44 year old building. Within weeks, our prayer for a remodel became a bold prayer for a new building. We did not know how that was going to happen, we just knew that we needed to pray. A few months later we are now ready to move in to the brand new BSM Building. We simply can’t believe it. After the papers were signed we invited the construction company staff and the bankers that helped us facilitate the deal that made the BSM building possible to lunch at the old BSM building. There we told them that we were thankful for helping us provide a place where students can learn about God and discover how they can live a life of service to God in their community. We also asked their permission so that we could pray at that time and give thanks to God for their lives. It was an awesome time. After they left we decided that we needed to move the first BSM item to the new BSM. Without hesitation we grabbed a Bible and took off to the new BSM. The Word of God was the very first thing we moved into that building. There all 4 of us BSM staff (Bruce McGowan, Karen Velasquez, and Robert and Sharon Rueda) joined in prayer as we committed before God to use that building to teach the Bible so that students may know Christ and learn to follow him. It was a meaningful prayer as we all knew that God had provided this new building for his Glory so that college students may know Him. Praise God.  Thank You Lunch  First BSM item we moved into the new BSM Building  BSM at UTPA Staff We recently hosted the BSM 60’s party. It was a cool event organized by BSM students to raise money for the new building. They were very successful both in having a fun party and raising money. Here are three of our favorite things: 1. Adults from a Calvary Baptist Church Life Group served our students by cooking and serving delicious 60’s food. 2. Our student leaders put on a really cool party 3. The money they raised will have an effect in the lives of college student both now and in future generations. Thanks!
