Campus Prayer Walk

This Campus Prayer Walk starts at the BSU and is designed to highlight some of the greatest prayer needs of our campus. If location list is followed, you will end up back at the BSU. View Campus Map

The International Building is next door to the BSU. There are over 80 countries represented in our international student population, many from hard to reach places.
