If you could ask God one question, and you knew it would be answered, what would it be?

Grant MacEwan College and University of Alberta BSM Outreach, March 2006

This March the Baptist Student Ministries at Grant MacEwan College and the University of Alberta in Edmonton surveyed hundreds of students in a week long outreach.  A team of 16 students from Arkansas joined the Albertan students in this outreach. At Grant MacEwan College over 200 students responded to the survey, with over 40 signing up for small group studies or to meet a leader to discuss their faith.  The question above was one of those on the survey.

Laura Cruikshank led the outreach at Grant MacEwan College. To talk about how this survey was done contact her at grantmacewanbsm@yahoo.ca.

The ministry at the University of Alberta is led by Greg Idell.
