The Refresh Campus Ministry Gathering at Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas, Texas, will provide some new opportunities. Attendees will have the option of participating in one of two General Board of Global Ministries training programs including an Early Response Team training or a Volunteers in Mission training both held Dec. 12-13.

Keynote speakers for this year’s event include author Ruth Haley Barton who will address participants on Tuesday afternoon while noted author and pastor Lovett Weems will speak on Tuesday evening. Author and producer Andy Crouch will be the keynote Wednesday evening, and SMU professor Hugo Magallanes will speak Thursday morning. Dynamic and spiritual worship will be lead by the Richardson, Texas based band, Dutton.

Again this year, Campus Ministry Boot Camp will be held prior to Refresh, December 11-13. Led by Creighton Alexander, the Boot Camp will help anyone wanting to take their campus ministry to the next level in order to be a thriving presence on campus.

Early registration for Refresh is $99; Bootcamp is $399 until Nov. 21.
