A new name for Campus Crusade for Christ I can't say it much better than this FAQ posted on Campus Crusade for Christ's website. While we knew the consideration of a new name was going on for the last year or two, we hadn't thought much about it until it was formally announced last week during the biennial staff conference going on in Colorado. So we wanted you to hear it from us rather than the news - yes, the new name that will be gradually phased in next year is, quite simply, Cru.

Last week our team completed the 5th episode from what in the United States would probably be called the "Escaping the System" story - the project we are doing in partnership with the Agape ministry in Spain. It is exciting to hear of students who were ministered to at the huge secular comic festival in Barcelona in May. Many students came up to the workers there that had first been exposed to the story at the festival a year ago and had been following it ever since. This episode touches on the prodigal son story, and episode 7 deals with the death and resurrection of Jesus. (You can see it at here or linked from our blog). Please keep the team in your prayers as we work through finishing episode 6 (in production right now) and episode 7 (in pre-production)! After we do these episodes the plan is for production to transition to Spain. So please pray for the team that is being formed in Spain, and for Josh (our TD) as he travels there in July to help with the transition
