The Passing of a Spiritual Legend

Wow…. totally shocker to me at 2:30am… I just found out that on July 19th Bill Bright died!  Bill was the founder of Campus Crusade for Christ over 50 years ago.  This man did a TON for the cause of Christ and his work has revolutionized the world!

-He started what is now the worlds largest college ministry.

-He wrote a booklet called “The Four Spiritual Laws” explaining salvation that has been distributed to more than 2.5 BILLION people (making it the most widely spread religious booklet in history).

-He commissioned the “JESUS” film, a feature-length documentary on the life of Christ, which has since been viewed by more than 5.1 BILLION people in 234 countries and has become the most widely viewed, as well as most widely translated, film in history (786 languages).

-In 1996 Bright was presented with the prestigious Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion, worth more than $1 million. The Templeton Prize is the world’s largest financial annual award. Bright donated all of his prize money to causes promoting the spiritual benefits of fasting and prayer.

That man was an awesome servant of Christ dedicated to reaching the world with the Gospel… He died at the age of 81 after a 3 year battle with Pulmonary Fibrosis.  Man I bet Christ is going to tell him those words I hope to hear, “Well done my good and faithful servant… Well done.”

Mood:  Eh… alright. (There’s no “alright” face though…)
