Uruguay and a team for Oxford
England the sites where ACU

but Kehl said everyone involved
seemed to have a good time.

rush.

allow the new students to meet
us and give them a chance to
know our names" Knight said.
Also attending the rush was
Rebecca Venable sophomore
secondary education major from
Longmont Colo who said shes
planning on going to Oxford in

Clay Rich senior accounting

and chair of the Spring Break
Campaigns Committee said the
application process is lengthy
but crucial to the success of the
campaigns
"Leader selection is one of
the most prayed-over times"
Rich said. "The leaders that are
selected absolutely shape the
campaign he or she is leading
We know God will raise leaders
from the ACU student body that
are focused on serving Him."
Rich said leaders "must pre-
pare and equip campaigners for
mission outreach and service by
exemplifying integrity in prepa-
ration organization and char-
acter to establish an environ-
ment of prayer and Christ-likeness
in a unified focus to seek
Gods glory"
After picking up the appro-
priate forms in the SBC office.

design which provides great
service to the students with
additional operational hours."
Bourg said the kitchen pro-
vides similar menu items to
those at other food locations
like the Jellybean and the
Fatted Cafe and is open the

Blake Kahla senior youth
and family ministry major from
Missouri City led a Spring

last spring and said he was en-
couraged to do so because of
the experience he had on a
campaign the previous year.
"I believe every Christian
needs to experience God in a
new light whether Ills In
Honduras New York or Mon-
tana" Kahla said. "Spring Break
Campaigns give students a
chance to serve others and at
the same time become more
spiritually filled. God can do
amazing things even if it Is only
for a week!"
