This information isn”t available anywhere else.

That was the comment one reader made about the expanded Christian college issue CHRISTIAN STANDARD published March 16.

The same is true for this week”s issue. Hidden on the computer hard drives of several campus ministers, the directory we publish annually tells our thousands of readers about these ministries.

Keep this issue or send it to college-age students you know. Or find the directory at our Web site and bookmark it for future reference. Hundreds of Christian students on secular campuses across the country are making life-changing commitments to God because these ministries are at work. More youth ministers and families need to know about them.
