Abstract:
Founded in 1972, Campus Crusade for Christ, an internationally known organization, was officially recognized as a chapter at Ball State University. Nationally, the organization has grown from its existence on one campus – University of California, Los Angeles – to 191 countries throughout the world to date. This paper examines the history at a national level, but more specifically, the paper will focus on the local organization of Campus Crusade and how it has grown since 1972 in its impact and student involvement. The paper will also address the educational influence the organization has had on students involved in the organization as well as the students and faculty at Ball State who are not involved with the organization.
