College Survival Kits

Featured in Answers Magazine

As students start cracking the books again, why not consider sending a College Survival Kit? That’s what Aimee Fuller of Edwardsville, Illinois, has done for years. She has helped college-bound family, friends, church members, neighbors, and even her children’s babysitters.

Using any container or gift bag, simply fill it with goodies and biblical resources designed to equip the students. Today’s college students are bombarded daily with a host of difficult questions.

Many great resources are now available, at affordable prices, designed with students in mind. Simply pick the ones that are most suitable for the individual student.

Besides treating students with chocolate and gift certificates to places like Starbucks, Wal-Mart, Blockbuster, and their favorite pizza place, here are some ideas for faith-equipping resources to consider sending to a college student:
