Campus Crusade, vision for the world

While the majority of Denver Christmas Conference's participants arrive from one of the six states that comprise Campus Crusade’s Great Plains International Region, several have homes thousands of miles away. The passion of Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade for Christ, to “come help change the world” certainly remains central to the work of this region, which partners with Mexico, Chile, Africa, Ireland, Spain, Serbia, Russia, and two locations in East Asia to see those areas reached with the gospel. Throughout the week, staff sought to share that vision with students by inviting the students to minister abroad. Speakers from around the world described how God was using Campus Crusade in their countries and urged students to consider joining their teams to target unreached people groups. Other opportunities for students included spending a semester in Thailand doing tsunami relief, participating in an international summer project, and working as an overseas intern.
