Meet the New Campus Director

It's official! We have a new Campus Director.

John and Geralyn Strange have accepted the position of Campus Director for UK.

They have spent the last several years on staff at Clemson University. John is a graduate of that school down south in Knoxville...but Geralyn is a graduate of the University of Kentucky.


They will be visiting the campus soon and will move to Lexington sometime this summer.


Please join me in welcoming them!

Are the Biblical Documents Reliable? by Jimmy Williams - this is an interesting article that is mostly unrelated to the Bible Study. However, after watching the Discovery Channel on the "Lost Tomb of Jesus" has prompted me to include this. I hope it helps answer some questions. If you watched the "documentary" last night and have questions, I recommend reading Ben Witherington's blog post on it. He clearly debunks a lot of the half truths associated with it. His first sentence really puts everything in perspective.

On a side note, since when has making a movie about an early 20th century steam ship made one an expert on Biblical Archaeology? I think it is highly reasonable to think that a cable channel that puts out shows like Stunt Junkies, Dirty Jobs (one of my favorites), and American Chopper is probably one of the most reliable sources for Biblical Archaeology.

Spring Break Scholarship Info

If you have talked with Donny about a scholarship and he mentioned that you need to send out 5 support letters...then this is the post for you.

I have linked to the sample support letter here. It is in MS Word format. If you don't have that, then you really ought to get join the 21st century.
You will need to edit it and change all the personal info. Trust me, if you don't, you'll feel really silly.

Send the letter (signed in ink) to 5 people you feel would be encouraged to be a part of your spiritual development. Don't forget to included a Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope in the letter. All checks need to be made payable to Campus Crusade for Christ.

You will need to let Donny know what your status is on Thursday (i.e. Letters sent, number of responses, money in, etc...). You can also let me know what comes in after Spring Break.

As soon as a letter comes back with support checks, WRITE A THANK YOU NOTE. If you forget to write a thank you note, I will put sand in the liner of your swimtrunks.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Donny 859-492-6419, or donny.friederichsen@uscm.org.

Thanks
