Power to Change Ministries

Since 1967, Power to Change (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ, Canada) has been focused on just one thing: telling everyone, everywhere what a difference Jesus makes and inviting them to discover a relationship with Him. When Bill Bright founded Campus Crusade for Christ in 1951 on the campus of UCLA, he did so on a basic principle: boldly proclaim the Gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit and leave the results to God. The methods he used were culturally relevant and ahead of his time then – and with our new vision and new name we’re still striving to do the same.
