I just traveled around the world in 80 hours, well actually three days, but 80 hours is 3.33333 days and it made for a catchy post title I thought.
I left early Tuesday morning for a ministry conference near Toronto, Ontario. Let’s see who I met that helped me travel the world. I often had something I could share about knowing Jesus. Continue reading Around the World in 80 Hours… Well, Not Quite
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”

“Win the campus today, win the world tomorrow.”
~ Dr. Bill Bright
Campus Crusade for Christ’s continued emphasis has always been to reach students on all the world’s campuses, especially since these young men and women become tomorrow’s leaders. Initially, every local campus ministry, now called Cru, was lead by our staff and their student-disciples; however, our limited number of staff can’t possibly reach all the world’s universities.
Ann C., who tracks our global ministries, explains: “In 2011, [we reported] 1,742 Student Population Centers with a Cru presence globally. (Cru counts SPC’s because there isn’t always a physical campus, or large universities can have multiple campuses.)”
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”
