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.

Elizabeth, I think you have made a good choice by working with Campus Crusade for Christ. I was surprised to learn CRU had locations on 3,500 different locations. I agree with your feelings towards a consistent speaker. My pastor left our church a year ago, and we have substituted a different speaker nearly every week. While it is nice to gather other viewpoints, it takes away from the organizations momentum. I think finding a consistent speaker for CRU is a good goal for you to have. Have you considered any methods for accomplishing this goal? If so, does everyone in the organization feel the same as you? I think you are off to a great start, good luck with the rest of your project.
