Over 40 Years of Ministry

When Bill Bright founded Campus Crusade for Christ in 1951 on the campus of UCLA, he did so on one basic principle: to boldly proclaim the Gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit and leave the results to God. Campus Crusade for Christ Canada (now Power to Change) was founded on this same vision with Josh McDowell in 1967 on the campus of UBC.

Below is a snapshot of our movement throughout the years:
