One of our favorite things to do at Christmas is to go to Campus Crusade’s Christmas party at headquarters. We have a large quadrangle between the two main buildings which was filled with people mingling around the tables and with a stage in the center. This year was a pretty chilly night for Florida. Our entertainers for the night work at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. All of the performers were from the Congo originally. You can even see them perform in someone’s home video. The theme for the night was international, as you have guessed by now. The food was from … Continue reading Christmas at Lake Hart
For the last nine months, Mike assisted in identifying and selecting the software to be used for Campus Crusade’s new Connect and Care system. Working with a team, he helped, as a business analyst, to research sixteen software options.

You can see a photo of Mike on our main ministry site. Jenny invited her friend, Nicole, and we settled in our folding chairs … Continue reading Drive-in Movie Night
Sus was honored that one of the writers for Campus Crusade’s main web site, ccci.org, asked if he could publish one of Sus’ blog entries from her online journal, The Sower. He picked the February 8, 2008, article where Sus describes a recent conversation she had on a flight to Phoenix. It seemed she was “unsuccessful” in trying to witness to the man next to her, but we don’t want to spoil the story line. You can read the story for yourself.
