			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The ministry of the UT Arlington BSM is possible because of the generous support of alumni, friends, and Texas Baptist churches.  BSM is growing, as are the opportunities at UTA.  Your tax-deductible donations help carry on the strong tradition of ministry at UTA and allow BSM to do MORE than we could do otherwise.</p>
<p>Contact us at info@utabsm.com or 817-277-4195 and inquire about our current needs.  You can also submit a general donation and we&#8217;ll use it where it is needed most.  You can donate by submitting a secure payment online using a credit card or Pay Pal:</p>
<p><strong>Make a donation:</strong></p>
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input name="cmd" type="hidden" value="_s-xclick" />

</form>
<p>You can also mail in a contribution.  (This is best for larger donations as it avoids transaction fees.)  Make checks payable to &#8220;BSM&#8221; and send them to:</p>

<p><strong>Gary &amp; Teresa Stidh</strong><strong>am</strong></p>
<p>Originally from west Texas, Gary has served as Director of the Baptist Student Ministry since 2003.  He enjoys spending time with people and helping them grow in their faith.  He&#8217;s also a pretty good ping-pong player&#8230;so steer clear if you&#8217;re not up to it.  Gary&#8217;s wife, Teresa, is the BSM office manager.  Together they have two sons, Josh (9 years old) and Ben ( 6 years old).</p>

as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.</em></p>
