Bill Bright

I note with sadness the passing of Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade for Christ. I was involved in CCC back in my college days, and found fellowship with them rewarding. One thing I liked a lot about it was leadership training; it wasn't just about going to church, it was about building Christian leaders. Leaders who could witness to the public, who would build fellowships of fellow Christians and teach them to be leaders as well. I had some trouble with the witnessing to complete strangers part. I did it, but I have considerable trouble doing it now, especially since most of the people I talk to each day are at work, and I don't know how well it would go over there. There is a role in the body of Christ for this type of witnessing, even if I don't feel particularly well cut out for it.

Apparently we have a lot in common in our faith backgrounds. Cool!
