There's a celebration in Heaven tonight. What a wonderful servant Bill Bright was. What an inspiration! His steady hand will be missed....

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."

My condolences.
Prayers indeed.
We have lost a faithful servant and a man who will certainly be waiting in heaven for the rest of his flock to arrive (which could end up being a sizeable portion of the planet's population).

Tears streaming for happy and sad as I read this. Happy he is finally in the glorious presence of the Savior, sad for those of us left behind to miss him -- especially his family and friends.
Something tells me that it won't be long until we're all gathered in His presence. Come quickly, Lord Jesus!

Here's what I received via e-mail from a friend who works for Campus Crusade for Christ:
We want to inform you of the death of our dear friend and founder and former president of Campus Crusade, Dr. William R. Bright, known to many of us as just Bill. At 7:25 pm Colorado time, Bill was ushered into the presence of the one he loved and served for over 50 years. Tonight he is with Jesus.
Knowing he was near death, we have spend many hours praying and weeping ask asking the Lord if He would just take him so that he would not have to suffer
any longer. His wife, and co-founder of CCC, Vignette Bright called and talked to us yesterday from Orlando, Florida. She said she had on a bright red dress
and white pearls but thought this would be his coronation day. She plans to fly to Colorado tomorrow morning to be with the staff she and Bill love so dearly. It looks like we will have a memorial service here on Monday night with the 5,000 plus staff that are here. Probably a week from this coming Wednesday there will be another memorial service in Orlando, Fl.
Pray for Vignette, their kids and grand kids.
We share fond memories of our times spent with Bill and Violent, It was
just a few months ago that I had the privilege of setting with him in his home
and discussing plans for [deleted]. We we got ready to leave I asked
him how I could pray for him, expecting him to ask prayer for his health. He
said, "Pray that I will not forget my first love". That was his last words to
me.
Our hearts are saddened but we rejoice in his "home going"

I attended the Promise Keepers event in Washington D.C. in 1996. After the event we were standing in line at the hotel resturant around 10:00 p.m. I stuck up a conversation with the fellow in fromt of me in the line. We exchanged introductions and he was Bill Bright.
I told him what an honor it was to meet him and he instantly replied to me "No David the honor is mine to have met you".
