SALT News
One of the things we say nearly every day in the NXAMC is this: “Every day we have to serve is a privilege.” We encourage each other with that to remind ourselves what an honor it is to be a part of what God is doing in the lives of university students through XA. Whatever position we hold in this ministry—from National Director to new volunteer—it is a privilege to serve on this mission together as we prayerfully move ahead into the Greatest Student Awakening in history. Thank you for your faithful investment in students.
CMC
CMC is July 25-29 at Arizona Grand Resort! After two long and unusual years ministering on campus during a global pandemic, we are thrilled to gather together as a family at CMC. Our theme will be Holy Spirit Empowerment. If we were reminded of anything in the past two years, we were reminded that we need the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, and we need one another. It will be so good for XA Nation to be together!
Focus Capital Campaign
We are partnering with The FOCUS Group to officially launch our capital campaign on March 31st. The FOCUS group believes we should be able to raise 7 million dollars, which will be invested into four programs: Pioneering, Missions, Diversity, and Training. All of the funds we raise will be invested into the field through these four areas—none of the funds are intended for operations of the NXAMC.
THANK YOU TO THOSE OF YOU WHO CONNECTED US WITH YOUR DONORS FOR THE INITIAL FEASIBILITY STUDY! We gleaned much valuable information from them, and local ministries are already receiving benefits from connections made in this process.
This capital campaign will bless the entire movement of Chi Alpha.
CCM
We are thrilled to announce Minority Training Mobilization Grants for CMC!
We’re so pleased with all the progress we have made over the last 10 years as we witness our Chi Alpha staff look more like the kingdom of heaven with all peoples and nations as we’ve added about 300 minority missionaries to our movement.
Unfortunately, the majority of these missionaries are at the MA staff level, and this is why we’ve decided to make a major investment into ethnic minorities by making available $100,000 of minority training mobilization grants to help get our ethnic minority missionaries to CMC. These grants are for those who have a long-term commitment to Chi Alpha, but due to lack of funds, would not be able to attend CMC otherwise.
Applications for these grants will open February 1st and if you or someone you know could benefit from this investment, please have them go to chialpha.com/mmf

Missions Mobilization
ALL teams must be registered, both international and stateside. The first and easiest step is for team leaders to make us aware of their intention to take a trip as soon as they’ve chosen a location and host missionaries. Do this by registering each team with Chi Alpha so we can help you navigate the additional paperwork, insurance, travel approval, etc required by AGWM and AGUSM.
Here are the forms for registering with Chi Alpha: Stateside Teams and International Teams
ALL SPRING BREAK PAPERWORK FOR AGWM AND AGUSM IS DUE FEB 1
ALL SUMMER PAPERWORK FOR AGWM AND AGUSM IS DUE APR 15
chialpha.com/expeditions will have all the information you need for teams. If you have more questions contact Brandon Hurst (bhurst10@gmail.com) or Brian Hargett (bhargett@ag.org)
