Founder and History

"William R. Bright, 81, Founder of Campus Crusade for Christ." The New York Times. 22 July 2003. 19 Feb 2009. <http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html? res=9806E2DB163FF931A15754C0A9659C8B63>. 

This Article reveals the news that the founder of Campus Crusade for Christ died most likely the 21st of July 2003 or the 22nd of July 2003. The author gives good background information on how William R. Bright founded the organization and how it has grown over the years, and recognized the many achievements of Bright. 

Most likely I will use this source for some good background information and a little history of Campus Crusade for Christ. For example, how it was started, how it grew, who else besides William R. Bright was involved, and how many people it took to get Cru to where it is today, and of course where Cru is today in terms of growth and progress in their mission of spreading the Gospel.

"Campus Crusade History." 2008. 19 Feb 2009. <http://www.campuscrusadeforchrist.com/aboutus/>.

This is from Campus Crusade for Christ's webpage, and it is their history. It just explains the origin of Cru, what they have done as an organization, and how they did accomplished those achievements. I thought it important to find the organization's version of their history instead of the New York Times, although very credible, it is just so much better to get the history from the organization itself. 

I will use this source to explain Cru's history, when they were founded, how they grew, what their mission was and still is. Basically I will be using this source for the same reasons listed above. I also wanted to get the organization's version of their history one main reason. They know their history a little better than anyone else.
