Three Decades Later: Penn State
When church historians write about the events which swept across college campuses in the 70’s, they will talk about the unique movement of God which not only captured the hearts of thousands of students, but also launched hundreds into missions. It was in this spiritual atmosphere we gave our lives to Jesus. While at Penn State, Mike saw how God raised up young laborers for His Harvest which continues more than three decades later.
During Mike’s senior year (1979), nearly 1,000 students were active in Penn State’s Campus Crusade ministry with over 800 in small discipleship groups. A large number of these committed their lives to impacting the world for Christ. Continue reading “Three Decades Later: Penn State”

We continue to train and equip student leaders to be lifelong laborers and to reach their campuses Continue reading “Equipping Student Leaders around the World”

Our “Tour” of Cru’s International Headquarters
Join us on a “tour” of Campus Crusade for Christ’s International headquarters. God has blessed us with beautiful buildings and grounds as well as wonderful people to minister with. We hope these photos will encourage you to consider visiting if you make a trip to Orlando sometime.
The best way for us to show you Lake Hart is to send you over to a captioned slideshow. We have photos of the grounds; the JESUS Film Tour; the prayer rooms; the memorial wall and garden honoring Dr. Bright; and more. Continue reading “Our “Tour” of Cru’s International Headquarters”
