MARSHALL NEWS MESSENGER: (3/19/16) A group of about 20 East Texas Baptist University students have given up their spring break to refurbish a house in Marshall.

Instead of enjoying their vacation on a beach somewhere, they've been busy replacing a roof, repairing and painting wood siding and landscaping a house on West Meredith Street as part of a servant leadership class.

"I don't think I've told anyone to get up and work," ETBU Provost Thomas Sanders said. "We just tell them what needs to be done and they just jump up and do it."
