Also during the past few weeks, some people dropped out of their campaigns. Four people found out they had to go home to be with family, Wallace said. One person will not be able to get a refund on the money for the trip he had to drop. Those students who do find replacements will get their money back. Students still have a chance to go if they want to fill the vacated spots, said Kami Edwards, junior secondary education major from Abilene and secretary of the SBC committee.
Excitement continues to grow as the time to leave approaches.
SBC committee members believe these campaigns will have a positive influence on those involved. The ACU students will probably get more out of these trips than the people they are going to serve, Edwards said. A devotional for campaign participants will be Thursday at 9 p.m. Members of the faculty and staff will sing and pray for the campaigns during the meeting. The devotional will focus on helping students prepare for the trips they are about to take, Wallace said.
