The following is copied from Mike McAlister's Comment just to be sure it gets read.
Thank you for setting this site up and for reminding us of the vision and passion we had for sharing the transforming power of Jesus on the campus. God opened the door for me to minister with the CE staff at Texas Tech in 1967. He also revolutionized my life through CE by teaching me what the Lordship of Jesus means.
After the CA staff was let go in 1971, God took me into teen ministry for nine years, and then preaching ministry for 25 years. To my suprise, He now has me back in campus ministry at the Univ. of Houston.
I thank God for you and Jim and for all who were used to help us enter into the "much more" that God intends for His church. May that Revolution never end!
Thanks, Mike!
Mike McAlister was a member of the team at Tech as he mentions when CE established the pilot project there. He worked with us and was constantly on the campus in dorms. the student union, and at the Bible chair. He met his future wife at Tech.
The funniest story I remember about Mike is that when he was being interviewed by the elders at the Broadway church prior to being hired, one of the "old-line" elders asked Mike where he "stood on Modernism." There was a long silence as Mike attempted to grasp the meaning of the question (which had no meaning to him, that being an issue 30+ years or more before Mike was born). Finally, he said something like, "Well, I believe modern things like cars and tvs and things like that are okay." Mike, you can retell the story if you like from your perspective and I'll publish it. But, that's pretty much the way the response went. Needless to say, Mike passed the theological test -- not knowing anything about Modernism!
