     PARIS (BP)--When 19 students from the University of Georgia spent a week in Paris -- the "City of Love" -- they prayed around the Arc de Triomphe, traveled to the top of the Eiffel Tower, sang in subway lobbies and shopped on the Champs-Elysees. But what excited them most were the opportunities they had to meet the students of Paris.
     Paris is home to a half-million university students -- 100,000 of whom are internationals. Reaching these students is the challenge embraced by Southern Baptist missionaries Scott and Mentanna Campbell.
     The Campbells rely heavily on student volunteers because, as Scott put it, "There is a barrier there. They don't ask us to lunch or give us e-mail addresses. The only way we're going to meet French students is through other university students."
