National Campus Ministries presents Award
and an Opportunity for Reconciliation with the Past
At the recent 50th Annual National Campus Ministries Seminar held at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, an award was presented to Jim Bevis, a pioneer in campus ministry among the Churches of Christ, marking not only a lifetime of achievement, but also marking a reconciliation with the past for the National Campus Ministry Association of the Churches of Christ (NCMA). Bevis is a native of Florence, Alabama, and serves as President of CSR Ministries.
“Over the years there has been a lot of disconnects in Campus Ministry,” said Milton Jones, President of NCMA, and a minister at Northwest Church of Christ in Shoreline, Washington. “I asked myself: Could our ineffectiveness in reaching our goals have anything to do with our disconnects?”
