Campus Crusade for Christ takes birth, 1951 In 1951, Dr. Bill and Vonette Bright received a vision from the Lord to reach out to college students with the Gospel, as a means for reaching out to the entire world. Bill Bright founded the ministry of Campus Crusades on the UCLA campus, with a desire to develop leaders who would be able to carry out the Great Commission within their generation. The mission of Campus Crusades involves 4 basic principles: to WIN the hearts of students for Christ; to BUILD them up into mature believers; to TRAIN them to build their own disciples; and finally, to SEND them out, that they may take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth. The Four Spiritual Laws Campus Crusade's ministry objective is to build a movement of multiplying disciples throughout college campuses, who will in turn, build and send out more disciple makers into the world. This process can only begin through effective evangelism. Evangelism is a vital part of our campus ministry. As a witnessing tool, Dr. Bill Bright developed a small yellow booklet entitled 'Have You Heard of the Four Spiritual Laws?' This booklet explains the basic principles of salvation, as recorded in the Bible, and is simple and easy enough to be used by anyone. With over 2.5 billion booklets printed to date, the Four Spiritual Laws has become an indispensable tool for evangelism. The "Jesus" Film, 1978 Having shared his vision for recreating the life of Jesus on film, as recorded in the Gospel of Luke, an independent businessman, who was also a long-time friend of Campus Crusades, offered to fund the "Jesus" film. The film began as a 6 million dollar production, and since then, it has become the most widely translated film of all time. The "Jesus" film is currently being used by more than 1,500 other Christian organizations, it has been translated into a total of 918 languages, and has been seen by over 6 billion people all over the world!

Douglass, who was installed as the new president of Campus Crusade for Christ International in July 2001. Stephen Douglass has served the ministry for 33 years prior to his installment as president, including executive vice-president and director of U.S. ministries. Dr. Bright considered Stephen Douglass to be the best leader as he knew the ministry well, and would continue to work to carry out the desire of fulfilling the Great Commission. Under his leadership, CCC International is working on every campus, in churches throughout the world, and even in the most unreachable corners of the world, in order to see the movement of Christ, everywhere!
