			<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" />
<input name="hosted_button_id" type="hidden" value="5L44XWWS98T8Y" />

</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>

Gary, Christi, Doug, Joanna, and Brooke work full-time (and then some) to make the BSM a great place for you and your friends.  Learn more about them and say hello next time you drop in the building!</strong></p>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-152" title="gary" src="http://utabsm.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/gary.jpg" alt="gary" width="108" height="146" />Gary Stidham<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><em>Director</em></span><br />
</strong>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 has a wife, Teresa, and has two sons, and really enjoys the time he gets to spend with them.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-148" title="christi" src="http://utabsm.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/christi.jpg" alt="christi" width="99" height="145" /></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><strong>Christi Brazile<br />
<em><span style="font-weight: normal;">Associate Director</span></em><br />
</strong>Christi has lived in a lot of Texas towns, but she&#8217;s been our Associate Director for over seven years, now.  She&#8217;s a graduate of Texas Tech, but is now firmly planted in Mavs land.  Christi is a musician and a tri-athelete.  She is an expert on healthy eating and mentoring college students to follow Christ.</p>

<em>Intern</em><br />
Brooke grew up in Fort Worth and is a proud Texas A&amp;M Aggie. She spent three years living and working in Southeast Asia and joined the BSM staff in 2009. Brooke loves sharing the love of Christ with people and helping girls grow in their faith.</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: right;">
<p style="text-align: right;"><strong>Patty Herrera<img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-301" title="patty" src="http://utabsm.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/patty-150x150.jpg" alt="patty" width="150" height="150" /></strong><br />
<em>Intern</em><br />
Patty is the newest member of the BSM staff.  She is a recent UTA graduate and is serving as an intern at the BSM for the 2010-2011 year.  Patty is from Houston and has been a student leader in BSM for the last four years.</p>
