Campus Crusade for Christ becomes Cru

Two years ago, at our US Staff Conference here in Ft. Collins, CO, our leadership announced that the board of directors had approved a motion to consider changing the name. Over the course of these two years, there has been an incredible amount of research, discussion and much, much prayer over this decision.

This week, at our US Staff Conference, they revealed the new name: Cru. There have been many sessions and discussions concerning the process of searching for and deciding on a new name. After taking everything in, it is very, very evident to me that the US Leadership of CCC has been lead to this name by the Lord.

It's been interesting to reflect on the name change and think of the history of CCC. Even in the 70s and 80s, founder Bill Bright talked about the possibility of changing the name of the ministry.

I feel confident that this is the right decision for us at this time, and that our organizational leaders and staff involved in making this decision have truly sought the Lord on this.
