Acts Project — Vocational Gifts for the Global Church

The Acts Project is a summer-long mission experience in which students of all majors experience how their course of study is preparing them for a life of good work for God’s kingdom. It is also a way to fulfill Honors, student teaching, or internship requirements.

The program is preceded by an intensive semester of preparation. CM420 Missions: Foundations and Applications meet weekly in a small, highly interactive study setting, where students explore God’s call to cultivate the Gospel around the world and study current trends in missions. Additionally, the course ensures students are meeting practical deadlines for important pre-field requirements such as obtaining a passport, applying for a visa if necessary, receiving any required immunizations, and more. CM420 also features a several day, cross-cultural field trip that provides students with experience in cross-cultural relationship building and evangelism before they go overseas. Once on the field, Acts Project interns serve alongside believers of many nationalities and live with missionaries who become cultural guides, vocational mentors, and spiritual friends. At the end of the program, students convene for a debriefing week to process, discuss, and move forward transformed.

Cost: $600 course fee + $3,000-$6,000 support
Covers 100% of the program: class cross-cultural field trip, airfare, living expenses for 2+ months in-field, and debriefing week.

Student Government Association

• Who We Are

The Bryan College Student Government Association is a group of eight senators and two executives, elected by popular vote of the student body, who develop a connection with the students through various projects and initiatives that can vary from minor improvements to major accomplishments.
Additionally, SGA is designed to bridge the gap between students and administration, transforming the student voice into plans and solutions that can address any issue that comes your way.

Your Representatives

The President and Vice President maintain the structure of the SGA, and communicate between the Senate and various higher levels of authority.
The Senators are most directly connected with each of you. Their job is to connect with you as students and to be your voice to the rest of the Senate during discussions, planning, and problem-solving.
