CAMPUS MINISTRY SURVEY CARDS

The Board of Mission Administration is pleased to announce that the 
annual survey form (card) that appears in
the mail and is traditionally printed on brightly colored card stock 
will be available as an online form or an email
attachment within the next week.  The form has been created so that it 
can be completed via the computer using
the "tab" key to move from field to field.  The basic instructions will 
remain the same, see below:

* Please only report students leaving the home area who will not be able 
to attend their home church while away
at school.

* Please include the City, location and the full name of the school the 
student will be attending.

* Home addresses and phone numbers are very important so that campus 
ministry leaders will be able to contact
students right away, however, student's cell phone numbers are welcome 
as well.

If you already have these forms and have completed them, or you are in 
the process of completing them by hand
or typewriter, please continue and mail to the District Office:

Attn:  Carole Stevenson, 7900 E.
Highway 290, Austin, TX   78724.

If you have any questions you may call Carole at (800) 951-3478.

College is a critical time for students and early and personal contact 
is critical for campus ministry effectiveness. 
Campus ministers want to extend and continue your ministry to them as 
they come to their universities and
colleges - to offer them a community of their peers who share their 
faith tradition.
