“Why Should I Choose a Christian (Evangelical) College?”
By Daniel L. Akin

In June 1977, I was on a summer mission trip to the Papago Indians in Sells, Ariz. I was 20 years old, and the Lord had begun a significant work in my life only nine months earlier. I was saved as a young boy at about the age of 9 or 10, but like far too many teens, I had not walked closely with the Lord during those years. It is the single biggest regret of my life. But in the fall of 1976, after graduating from high school, God got really active in my life – up close and personal and painful. He also brought into my life a group of young people from the Ash Street Baptist Church in Forest Park, Ga., who reached out to me in spite of the fact I had not been all that kind to many of them in junior high and high school.

“Eight Guidelines for Selecting a Christian College”
By Gary Bredfeldt

The drive was just a bit under four hours. I could tell by Lynne’s uncharacteristic quietness that she was nervous. As we pulled onto the campus with a mini-van loaded with a college girl’s many essentials, it hit me that this was a huge turning point in our daughter’s life. I remember praying silently, “God, thank you for leading Lynne to a Christian college. Now, Father, please give her a wonderful year of spiritual growth.” My prayer was answered.
