Beach Reach

There have been a lot of ugly stories about college students recently - the racist frat chant at OU, the nude pictures from Penn State, the problem frat at U of H.  The list could go on, the sad thing is that it will go on.  College students will make some bad decisions. What about some good news about college students on spring break on South Padre Island?  Yes, that is possible.  A student on spring break on the beach can make a good decision - a life changing decision.

My friend, Brenda Sanders, who has continued to work in student work all these years let me know about this story.  I am including a link below and it is well worth the read.  A word of explanation:  Beach Reach is a ministry of Baptist Student Ministries to students on spring break at South Padre. 

Our former and future Student Intern at Northside Dante Williams has been a part of that work. This story comes from that work.  While our mission trip team was experiencing God at work in the colonia at Penitas, a few miles away God was also working on the heart of a college student on the beach.  Read and be reminded of the lengths God will go to reach someone.

By the way Beach Reach is a three week effort on South Padre.  Here are the results of week 2:
- 56 new believers, 6,444 gospel conversations, 32 recommitted their lives to Christ
- 3,484 Spring Breakers were prayed with and 12,986 Spring Breakers were given safe, free rides
- 12 Students were baptized

That is good news.

for the journey...
