As students have returned from the annual spring vacation that takes them home or to the beach or to the mountains, many of our MBU Timeline bloggers had an opportunity to recall a special event during the week, perhaps a pivotal conversation or moment to ponder their blessings.
When Kimberly Seabaugh arrived on campus from Lindenwood University, she knew cheerleading would be in her future, but she’s also added track and field to her college experience.

Kimberly Seabaugh (front row-right), has fit right in at MBU since transferring last fall, competing with the Spartan cheer squad.
It’s been called the 10/40 Window and “The Resistant Belt” because these geographic coordinates represent areas whose inhabitants are among the most adamantly opposed to Christianity in the entire world. And so that is exactly where some mission-minded students from Missouri Baptist University are going to spread the gospel of Christ.
Here are some interesting facts about MBU Timeline, the student newsmagazine of Missouri Baptist University, in St. Louis:
*Our mission statement is: MBU Timeline is the student news network of Missouri Baptist University, a private Christian university that embraces the essential core value of “social change through service and leadership.”
*The Bible verse that drives our mission is 2 Timothy 2:15 (Worldwide English Version): “Tell the true message in the right way.”
*The WordPress website has been up since late-fall 2013. We average about 3,000 sessions and about 5,000 pageviews per month.
*Our stories and galleries get as few as 40 or 50 hits, or as many as 8,000 hits.
