Beach Student Ministries
is an interdenominational,
evangelical Christian
group on campus at California
State University Long
Beach (CSULB), involving
students from different
backgrounds and countries
who are committed to these
beliefs...
We believe the Holy Bible
is God's authoritative
word to persons of all
generations and cultures.
The Bible is the final
authority in questions
of faith and practice
for this ministry.
We believe God has revealed
Himself in Father, Son
and the Holy Spirit.
We believe people who
know Jesus Christ personally,
in a living, dynamic relationship,
have hope and purpose
for living.
We believe that God in
His great mercy has given
us as believers, new birth
into a living hope through
the resurrection of Jesus
Christ from the dead.
We believe every believer
in Jesus Christ is called
to minister His love to
people in his/hers sphere
of influence.
Beach Student Ministries
was established by a group
of pastors and alumni
interested in providing
an opportunity to glorify
our Lord. BSM's desire
is to do exactly that,
by reaching, teaching,
and equipping college
students to study the
Word of God for themselves
and to prepare them to
lead others to do the
same around the world.
Beach Student Ministries
is solely supported by
the financial investments
of interested individuals,
groups and churches.
"Not that I
seek the gift, but I seek
the fruit that abounds
to your account."
- Philippians 4:17 (NKJV)
As a non-profit corporation
organized under the provisions
of Internal Revenue Code
501(c)3, all contributions
to
Beach Student Ministries
are tax-deductible.
You can play a vital role
in this ministry by PRAYING
REGULARLY for the Holy
Spirit to lead us in all
we think, say, and do!
Also, would you please
ask the Lord to give you
a burden in your own heart
to pray for the students
at CSULB.

BEACH FRONT NEWSLETTER
Winter 2005
Dear Friends in Christ,
Happy New Year!
Once again we write to
you to declare all our
Lord is doing here at
Cal State University Long
Beach and it is our hope
that you are blessed to
hear of how the Holy Spirit
is moving in the lives
of the young Men and Women
in Beach Student Ministries.
We are very excited to
share with you how the
Lord is working and pray
you are blessed and encouraged.
On Campus we continue
to teach the Word simply
and clearly. We challenge
the students to surrender
to the Lord’s leading
and to allow the Holy
Spirit to change them
to be more Christ-like.
We have been blessed to
be able to teach the Word
out in the open at our
Tuesday Night Bible Studies
in the Student Union as
well as Outside with our
Sunday Morning Outreaches.
This Spring Semester our
Tuesday Night Bible study
will be covering the many
people throughout the
Bible who have made an
impact for God. We will
learn how we may be encouraged
and used in similar ways
right here at CSULB. At
our Sunday Morning Outreaches
we will continue through
First Peter as we look
to our Lord for guidance
from His Word.
“I charge you therefore
before God and the Lord
Jesus Christ, who will
judge the living and the
dead at His appearing
and His kingdom: Preach
the word! Be ready in
season and out of season.
Convince, rebuke, exhort,
with all longsuffering
and teaching.”
2 Timothy 4:1-2
We know that developing
relationships with each
Student the Lord brings
to Beach Student Ministries
is extremely important.
It allows the development
of trust and friendship
that leads to discipleship.
At BSM we do this through
many fun and exciting
activities while keeping
Jesus as our central focus.
This past October we had
outdoor fellowships through
another Bonfire at the
beach and a campout at
Casper’s Wilderness
Park in San Juan Capistrano.
In November BSM had a
Girl’s Tea and Lorna
taught the girls “How
to have a Quiet Time with
the Lord”. The Guys
went on a “Discipleship
Road Trip” to the
Grand Canyon and learned
“The Seven Essentials
of a Godly Man!”
Please check out the pictures
on our website at www.BeachStudentMinistries.org.
In December we were blessed
to enjoy a Bowling Night
right here on campus at
the CSULB Bowling Alley.
We had fun! The Girls
had a Retreat in Murrieta,
CA where Lorna taught
on “The Fruit of
the Spirit”. Our
December mission trip
to Miracle Ranch Orphanage
in Mexico was a two-fold
blessing. The children
preformed a Christmas
program and our students
had an opportunity to
purchase much needed supplies
for the orphanage. As
you can see the Lord has
given us plenty to praise
Him for this semester!
The Lord is guiding us
in helping our Students
to grow and draw near
to Him through all these
different opportunities.
“But it is
good for me to draw near
to God; I have put my
trust in the Lord GOD,
That I may declare all
Your works.”
Psalm 73:28
PLEASE PRAY FOR:
1. The CSULB Administration,
Faculty, Staff, and Non-Believing
Students to allow us,
BSM, to serve the Lord
here as He leads. We have
been coming under growing
opposition and some hostility
this year.
2. The BSM Board, Staff
and Student Board to be
continually led by the
Holy Spirit in all we
think, say, and do to/for
God’s glory and
for wisdom, guidance,
protection and discernment
in all things.
3. We pray that the Staff,
Faculty, Administration,
and Students at CSULB
come to repentance and
trust Jesus as Lord and
Savior.
4. We pray that the Students
who are Christians will
step out in the power
of the Holy Spirit to
be a witness, and that
they grow in the grace
and knowledge of our Lord
Jesus Christ.
5. Please keep our Bible
Studies and all of our
activities in prayer.
6. Please pray that the
Lord will continue to
provide for all our needs,
thank you.Thank you again
for all of your prayers
and support we are blessed
that the Lord has put
Beach Student Ministries
on your heart to stand
with us in order to reach
college age men and women.
Please praise our God
for all He has done and
is going to do in our
coming Spring Semester.
Your Fellow Servants in
Christ,
John, Lorna, Vic &
the BSM Team |
