Mission
| What
do we live for? |
The mission of Campus Crusade for Christ is
to turn lost students into lifetime Christ-centered laborers.
Our spiritual mandate is found in Matthew 28:18-20:
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority
in heaven and earth has been given to me. Therefore
go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them
in the name of the Father and the Son and of the Holy
Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have
commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the
end of the age."

Campus Crusade for Christ was founded by Bill

One year later, Bill Bright wrote The Four Spiritual
Laws - likely the most widely distributed religious
booklet in history, with approximately 2.5 billion printed
to date.
By 1960, Campus Crusade was established
on 40 campuses in the United States and in two other
countries.
In 1983, a major event called KC'83
was held in Kansas City that drew 17,000 college students.
US News & World Report rated Campus Crusade as the top
religious charity in the United States in 1995.
Money magazine ranked the ministry as the most "efficient"
religious ministry in the U.S. in 1996.
By the year 2000, Campus Crusade for
Christ International , the parent organization for the
college ministry, had more than 24,000 full time staff
members, and more than 500,000 trained volunteers serving
in 191 countries.
In 2003, the campus ministry of Campus
Crusade for Christ currently has active movements on
more than 1,000 campuses with 44,000 students involved.

Vision
| What
do we pray for? |
Being a Christian is not
about practicing a religion or fulfilling a duty. Being
a Christian is about having a personal
relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Every person
has a story. The gospel is really about our personal
stories fitting into the larger story of God's creation
and purpose.
Being Christ-centered means allowing
God to shape our lives around His eternal purpose. It
means evaluating our life's direction and decisions
in light of God's Word. Being a laborer refers to God's
call for our lives to have great significance and eternal
impact. We can serve God in many ways, such as sharing
the gospel with others, going on a short-term missions
trip, or joining a ministry full-time to help reach
others for Christ.
