Organization Choice, Scott Dennis, 4/2/08, ElizabethD0201

I have decided to choose Campus Crusade for Christ as my organization to help because I see a tremendous glip in the Friday night all campus meeting. CRU is a Christian organization here on Purdue's campus and on 3,500 campuses in the US and overseas. Here at Purdue, we meet regularly on Friday nights and engage in a time of worship, that usually includes a talk. One of the biggest complaints that I have with CRU is that they do not have a consistent speaker. They will bring in people from all over the region, have someone on staff speak, or allow a senior to speak. These are all good alternatives, but I think a consistent speaker, someone who is gifted in speaking, would be a wise choice for the organization. The consistency of one main speaker with an occasional change (ie a guest speaker) would be a much better choice than having amateur speakers every single week throughout the year.

I think this is going to be a tough problem to solve. First of all, I imagine that there are people in CRU that like having different speakers each week, so you may have resistance from within the organization. Secondly, finding someone to commit to doing something every week won't be easy. You will either have to find a very generous person who has time to prepare a new talk every week, or you have to come up with money to pay for a good speaker to come in.
