The Vision
New York and New England are steeped in collegiate
tradition and influence. The region contains nearly six hundred colleges
and universities. As home for six of the eight Ivy League campuses, as
well as dozens of other prestigious academic institutions this is a very
strategic place for campus ministry. The 2.2 million students here
include many who will soon influence and lead in world business, education,
government, and media. Cities like New York and Boston are magnets to
hundreds of thousands of students from every state and nation. The highest
ranking International scholars (106,000) flock to these schools, and often
return to effect great local change in their home countries.
Beyond the diverse urban centers, the Northeast
also holds many state universities and private colleges tucked away in small
town places like Amherst, Mass., Syracuse, N.Y., and Burlington, Vt.
Because the Northeast may
be perceived as rocky soil for the Gospel, it deeply needs to see Christ-like
students and staff members. This is a region with great opportunities to exemplify
faith-filled lives in innovative ways, and the staff of Campus Crusade for
Christ are excited to meet and grow with Northeast students.
Currently, Campus Crusade
ministries exist on one hundred Northeast campuses led by 16 “missional” staff
teams. The team strives to provide Biblical truth and encouragement to
students of all ethnicities and cultures on each of these campuses, as well as establish
new partnerships on every Northeast campus. The Northeast region of Campus
Crusade for Christ has joined hands with hundreds of local churches, as well as
sent students across the globe to locations like London, Africa, and East Asia.
