Day 2 - Staff Conference

Another incredible day with Francis Chan. A real call to action to get your heart right with God. Here is a brief overview of the events of the morning.
9a Praise and Worship
9:30a Francis Chan spoke
10:15a Call to action from Francis Chan - This was a spiritual revival among the 5000 staff, most on their knees before God, some weeping.
10:50a Praise and Worship - Ended up being over an hour of Praising God. We sang many hymns including 'Holy, Holy, Holy' again.
11:25a Session ends - all of the planned events from 10:15 - 11:30 were scrapped.

One or two workshop/seminars took most of the afternoon and then our evening session was with Steve Sellers taking questions on the name change. All in all, it won't take place until early 2012 and only after letting people, including donors, get used to the change. "Cru" is not an acronym, or short for Crusade. It will be developed as time moves on by most ministries relating it to their specific work.

Dennis Rainey gave a short talk on the impact of Art of Marriage. 100,000 people have view the series in just five months. We want to put our tools into the hands of volunteers instead of us running everything. This will be the strategy for all of CCC over the next few years. 'It is not about us, it is about Him.'

We so appreciate those of you who are along side us and the opportunity to be here.

Harold
