I Win. But not as much as they do.

October 20, 2009

The first of the three words in our organizational DNA? Win. Of the three, this is the word whose usage is the most antiquated. But keep in mind that CCC started long before political correctness. When we say we are trying to win students and faculty to Christ, we don’t mean it to sound like [...]

The CCC Genome Project.

October 19, 2009

When Dr. Bill Bright founded Campus Crusade for Christ in 1951, his vision was to “reach the campus today, reach the world tomorrow.” That vision worked itself out through an organizational DNA we’ve come to refer to by the three words “Win, Build, Send.” Over the next few days I am going to be sharing [...]

…We felt it important to go the plants, then pets, then progeny route, and got our first plant, a flowering perennial we named Dr. Stee Ruggle, (he had a rough existence) to prove we could keep something alive for more than a few days….

Lead Twit.

October 6, 2009

Hope-Accosted Waiting.

September 29, 2009

Can I be honest? The past week has been a struggle. We are facing an elephant-sized amount of financial support to raise, and despite having been off campus working full-time on developing additional support, we have a net gain of around (negative) 100 bucks per month this month. It has felt insurmountable at times, and [...]

Crusade?

September 28, 2009

There are some drawbacks to being named after arguably the most bumble-headed thing (this is a family blog, and I try to keep cussing posts down to fewer than one per year, so bumble-headed is going to have to do) Christians have done since Peter lopped off an ear, sure. But here’s how the conversation [...]

Learning Gratitude

September 11, 2009

I don’t say thanks enough. I don’t say it enough in my marriage when my wife does things like pack my suitcase for me (without me asking) when I’m going on a trip, and I don’t say it enough when somebody picks up my tab at a restaurant. I don’t say it enough to the [...]
