“A young man from a wealthy family went to college to major in business management and engineering. He was tall, shy and very respectful of others. He developed a friendship with one of his professors and it completely changed his life. The articulate professor’s lectures and example of discipline, self-denial and devotion to his faith transformed this quiet student. This professor galvanized his life by radically changing his worldview, his direction and his ambitions; he finally found a purpose in life.

— Steve Douglass, president of Campus Crusade in a CCCI letter, July 2004
