Brothers, Tonight, Saturday, around 6:25 Pacific time, Bill Bright, Founder of Campus Crusade for Christ died and went to be with the Lord. There were tears of sadness seeing a brother pass away and there were songs of praise to the Lord for using Bill as God did. If you could bow before the Lord for his family and those close to him. Putting aside any opinions or disagreements you might have with CCC but as a great visionary brother in Christ that has been one of the most influencial person for the furthering of the Kingdom of God in the last 5 decades. Bill's vision has made a global impact that we cannot imagine. Praise God that he chooses us to preach his good news.

Both of my inlaws were good friends with Bill and have known him since the mid 50's. My father in law told me that Bill was pretty ill about two weeks ago, but I did not know how close he was to being with the Lord.
I am sure he is enjoying the reunion with Daws Trotman, Henrietta Mears and Dick Halverson.

As I see it, every second of life is a gift, yet as Paul said, to live is Christ, to die is gain. We know we'll see Bill again.

WOW. A great warrior and minister.
I was amused years ago on learning that his hostility to Charismania/speaking in tongues etc. took some serious hits when he discovered his son had been constructively, healthily, potently immersed in such for a long time--as I understood it all.
I understand both dad and son were potent forces for The Kingdom.
Praise God for their lives. Will be great to chat in eternity.

Saw him in Kansas City in 1983.
There is no way we will know what kind of impact this man had on the world. At least not yet.

I am actively evangelizing and discipling today due to the ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ when I was at Auburn in the 70s. I praise the Lord for the way He used Dr. Bright. "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His holy ones."

2Ti 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished [my] course, I have kept the faith:
2Ti 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
