December 2005


Ashley Parrish is just one of thousands of students in the Southeast who went off to college and struggled with her faith. Through Campus Crusade and your partnership with us, the Lord renewed her heart for Jesus and now she’s growing alongside other Christians on her campus at the University of Georgia.

ABC’s Good Morning America recently did a profile story on “Faith on Campus” and chose Ashley to show how “Many Young People Turn Away from God in College, But It Doesn’t Have to Be That Way”

You can read the ABC news article and watch the video from Good Morning America in its entirety (just over 5 minutes) on the ABC site.

Although we don’t completely agree with ABC’s commentary for parents of students away at college (at the end of the video), the video and article are overall, quite positive towards Christianity and Campus Crusade’s activities on campus.

Thank you so much for your prayers and partnership which made it possible for literally thousands of Ashleys to experience life change through the gospel in 2005!!

I drove past this local restaraunt a couple times last week and kept thinking, “What’s wrong with this picture?!”

Just had to stop and snap a picture!

Well, Fat Boy could actually have a slight marketing angle here:
“Trying to watch your diet after the holidays? Try our lowfat shake with your double-chili-cheeseburger!”

StorySpot.com has been upgraded, and although there’s still some work left to do on it, there are a LOT of cool new features.

This site is a good teaching tool for anyone who wants to learn how to naturally share how Christ has made a difference in their lives. It also presents the whole concept of God’s history with man from a story perspective.
