The Legacy Project

I love learning the history of Campus Crusade. So much has happened in the last 60 years! Awhile back, the Legacy Project was started as an initiative to benefit young leaders, by connecting us to our organizational heritage. There are dozens and dozens of videos. Check out this one from a Jacquie, a staff woman from Madison, WI, about her husband's military ministry:

10 days to 10 months

Vision trips give students just a small glimpse of the work God is doing around the world. Sometimes, a glimpse is all you need. A year ago, we sent out a 10-day vision trip from the U of M to East Asia. Little did Amber know, she would return there a few months later for 10 month STINT (short-term international trip). This year, our vision trips resulted in six STINTers returning overseas this fall to be a part of reaching people with the Gospel. We see firsthand how God uses short-term trips to lead to long-term investment in overseas missions: showing the need for laborers and growing hearts for the lost, which leads to more people praying for, giving to and participating in overseas missions in the future. Only God can transform a 10 day experience into a 10 month - or even a 10 year - investment.

Coyotes around the world.

I was recently cleaning out an old box of papers and found this little gem. Seems like such a long time ago, my best buds and I were all headed around the US for summer project. Fast forward 6 years... almost two dozen Coyotes applied for summer project, and 10 of them are headed all over the world this summer: Denver, North Myrtle Beach (3), San Salvador, East Asia (2), Australia, Ocean City, NJ (2). Super excited that a few of 'yotes are heading to East Asia with me!
