2007 KCCC Vision Conference

History of KCCC
Campus Crusade for Christ was founded by Bill and Vonette Bright at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 1951. One year later, Bill Bright wrote 'The Four Spiritual Laws' - likely the most widely distributed religious booklet in history, with approximately 2.5 billion printed to date. By 1960, Campus Crusade was established on 40 campuses in the United States and in two other countries. During the 1960's the ministry began conducting international Christmas conferences and summer mission projects. In 2003, the campus ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ currently has active movements on more than 1,000 campuses with 44,000 students involved. There are 1,700 full-time campus ministry staff members serving in the U.S. and internationally. The ministry is sharing the gospel with approximately 8 million students each year with 7,900 recorded decisions by students who accepted Christ last year.

Established in 1958
While studying at Fuller Seminary in Pasadena, California, Reverend Joon Gon Kim met Dr. Bright and learned of their common vision to reach the world for Christ. Reverend Kim returned to Korea and established Korea Campus Crusade for Christ (KCCC) in 1958. During the last forty years, KCCC has maintained its commitment to evangelize to Korea. With its main headquarter in Seoul, KCCC is operating ministries in 43 major cities in South Korea. KCCC has commissioned 1,000 staff members as overseas missionaries, and plans to send out 10,000 more staff members to unreached people groups by the year 2000.

Since then KCCC has focused on working with the college students and has played an important role in the shaping of Korean Christianity. With its main headquarters in Seoul, Korea Campus Crusade for Christ has commissioned more than a thousand staff members overseas as missionaries. It is the hope of this ministry to commission ten thousand missionaries into the 10/40 Window by the year 2020.

In 1982, Young-Won Kang established KCCC in America at Columbia University, New York University, and Julliard School of Music. KCCC serves campuses all over the United States, reaching out and touching the lives of thousands of Korean-Americans. KCCC strives to help the 1.5 and second generation Korean-Americans firmly establish their identity first as Christians, then as Korean-Americans.

Korea Campus Crusade for Christ in America
Korea Campus Crusade for Christ began commissioning missionaries into the United States, because of the need to minister to 1.5 and second generation Korean Americans. The focus of the new ministry was to firmly establish the Christian identities of the next generation of Koreans in America.

Korea Campus Crusade for Christ Today
Dong Whan and Jung Sook Kim helped to bring about a great student revival when they came into positions of leadership in 1996 at LA KCCC. The Great Commission Training Center (GCTC) for Korean staffs was established for the first time outside of Korea in 1997 to offer staff development and training and has since yielded more than sixty full-time staff. The Macedonian Project has also experienced rapid growth since 1997, and this past summer more than three hundred students were sent to eight different countries along the 10/40 Window for the fulfillment of the Great Commission. Vision Conference has grown from eighty attendants in 1996 to more than 1,200 attendees in 2002, and maintains a dream of three thousand students by the year 2005. The Gethsemane Prayer movement began in 1997 with twenty people but has since grown to more than three hundred students every week. Gethsemane Prayer has fueled the student movements not only in the Los Angeles region, but also in San Diego, Berkeley, New York City, Buffalo, and Toronto, Canada.

KCCC seeks to WIN, BUILD, TRAIN, and SEND students into the world as beacons of light for the fulfillment of the Great Commission in this generation. Our means of training students consist of small group leadership training, campus witness meetings, morning prayer, retreats, lock-ins, Gethsemane Prayer meetings, weekly open chapels, summer missions, Gideon Leadership Training, and much more.

Post Macedonian Project and the 10/40 Window

What is the Macedonian Project?
Two thousand years ago, a young missionary named Paul heard the cries of a man echoing from the faraway region of Macedonia in the middle of the night. History reveals that Paul's decision to seek out that man and his subsequent life's work in that region changed the course of human civilization. Not an isolated incident in history, however, the same cry is now being heard from across the nations in the 10/40 Window.

More than two billion people live from day to day in this region, never having heard the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. It is our desire to heed their calling and fulfill the Great Commission in our lifetime by working together with the churches to reach these nations desperately in need of the Gospel.

Every summer KCCC has been sending students to 10/40 window countries where people are in need of hearing the Gospel. Through several programs such as English class and cultural performance, our students develop friendship with the local college students who will be the leaders of their countries. If in need, our students went to eight different countries, and in the upcoming year more countries will be opened for short-term mission.

What is the 10/40 Window?
The window is a region that extends from West Africa to East Asia and 10 degree North to 40 degree South of the equator. The sixty one nations within this window encompass 65% of the world's population and 92% of all people living in poverty. Most importantly, however, the 10/40 Window contains 97% of all people who have not heard the Gospel message of Jesus Christ, two billion people in all.

Post Asia Minor

One Team: 17 Members
Evangelism: 80 Shared, 2 Accepted
Ministry: English Camp, Korean Culture Night, Beggars Retreat, Global Summer Project

Roughly 6.5 million people live in the Mediterranean nation of Asia Minor. With open evangelism outlawed by the state, 99.9% of the entire population remains historically Muslim with only a few hundred Christians scattered here and there. As more Western influences have begun making their way into the larger cities of Asia Minor, however, the doors to Christianity have also begun to open. Traditional Muslims are slowly beginning to see the love of Christ as their Savior and Lord. The 2002 World Cup served to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood between Korea and Asia Minor born of the Korean War fifty years ago. Asia Minor also maintains a positive working relationship with the United States as well. Therefore, young Asian-American students are effective tools for spreading the Gospel and the Love of Christ to the people within this nation.

Cambodia is otherwise known as the "Land of Tears," or the "Killing Fields." The Khmer Rouge left in the closing years of the 1970s a nation covered in land mines and a people scarred and broken from warfare. Cambodia was locked in the spiritual dark ages for decades. Years of Buddhism and conflict harbored resentment among the people. Cambodia was in dire need of outside help.

Christians workers are desperately needed in the areas of rehabilitation, orphan care, medicine, farming, fishing and education. Many churches and Christian organizations are providing help for the Cambodia government. With every passing year, God reveals just how much the Gospel message is needed in Cambodia. It is our prayer that one day, the "Killing Fields" of the torn nation will become the "Healing Fields" of Christ.

Post Central Asia

One Team: 9 Members
Evangelism: 286 Contacted
Ministry: English Camp, Computer Classes, Children Ministry

Central Asia has suffered immensely from a long history of endless warfare. 800,000 people have lost their lives to war while 160,000 have been handicapped and 700,000 have been forced to leave their homes and become refugees of war. Upwards of forty million land mines still litter the countryside and several decades are estimated before homes, schools and farms will fully be recovered.

There are more than 48,000 Hindu templates in Central Asia, but not one church stands as of yet. The spiritual scars of war, however, are more evident than even the physical ones. Despite the heat and fear of persecution, mission teams are able to connect with many students by holding English classes at the local university. Central Asia has known oppression for too long and is in dire need of helping through Jesus Christ.

Post East Asia

Ten Teams: 106 members
Evangelism: 752 Shared- 326 Accepted- 119 Follow-Up
Ministry: One on One Evangelism, Personal Discipleship, English Camp

East Asia encompasses 20% of the world by land mass alone, and maintains a population of 1.3 billion people, that are divided into a total of 22 regions. Evangelism by foreigners is absolutely prohibited and their regulatory measures against witnessing are considered one of the most extreme. But as this country prepares to host the 2008 Olympic games, many changes are taking place that reflect a large possibility for open evangelism within the next few years.

The future leaders of the growing nation can be met in college campuses and, despite their many years of having professed the non-existence of God, we have met students who were open and ready to receive the gospel message. We have faith that God will use East Asia to evangelize to its bordering countries and as a world mission center in the near future as well.

Indonesia is made up of over 17,000 small islands, which spread out over an area larger than the United States. Indonesia includes the largest Muslim population in the world (around 85 percent), and a large Christian minority (10 percent). This includes the world's largest assemblage of Presbyterian and Reformed Christians. Since the downfall of President Suharto, the country has struggled with political instability and economic crisis. Radical Muslim groups who advocate the imposition of Islamic law have surfaced in the past few years.

An estimated 3,500 people died in Indonesia in 2000 in separatist, ethnic, and religious violence. By June 2001, the number of refugees, or internally displaced persons (IDPs), had grown to near one million. Our English camp in Indonesia was a spiritual battle ground everyday. It climaxed when some Islam students left the camp expressing opposition towards the gospel message, but through such battle, Jesus and our team came out as a victor for many came to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.

Ministry: English Camp, Korean Culture Night, Campus Ministry, Church Ministry, Discipleship

With a population of 125 million people, 80% of which observes Shinto practices at least once a year, evangelism in Japan has often been a difficult endeavor. The average student in Japan has never been given the opportunity to accept the Gospel message or even heard the name of Jesus Christ. Traditions in culture make it difficult to even share the Gospel for what it is. Increasing interests in western civilization, however, have made English a wonderful tool for getting to know students in Japan.

The World Cup competition in 2002 has also bolstered an increase in interest for relations with Korea and Korean students. The building of lasting relationships in Japan between our students has been vital to our sharing of the Gospel.

Ministry: English Camp, Friends Night, Turkestan Trip, Street Witnessing, and Hair Cutting

In Kazakhstan the law permits evangelism only to those over the age of 19. It is, however, one of the only few Muslim countries that allowed open Christian activity. Kazakhstan gained its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991 and remains a multi-ethnic nation. Since that time it has continued to search for a national identity its own.

Most young people there seek to follow in the ways of the western world while retaining the pride of their indigenous culture. They are eager to learn English and more about American culture as they share with us about their own language and way of life. Many ethnic Kazakhstan also descended from Koryo people (settlers from Korea who moved there long ago), making the eager to welcome distant relatives into their homes. Such culture connections have aided missions teams in guiding the Kazakh people to form a deeper relationship with God.

Post Mongolia

One Team: 12 Members
Evangelism: Jesus Film Ministry, Teachers and Principle Camps, Vacation Bible School for Children, Street Performances, and Outreach

With a population of only 2.6 million, Mongolia is home to enough people for a large city spread across the whole of an entire nation. Half of these people practice Shamanism out of fear and respect for the spirits. With its relatively recently independence from communism, however, many Mongolians are ready to know God.

In working with Mongolia Campus Crusade staff and students, we have clearly seen the hunger these people have for the Gospel message. Mission teams into Mongolia have made effective use of the Jesus film while openly evangelizing the Gospel through outreach performances and hosting conferences for leading Mongolian professors. This is a nation eagerly awaiting the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Eleven Teams: 102 Members to Ramkamhaeng I & II, Rangsit, Chiang Mal, Thamasat, Thamasat Rangsit, chulalongkorn, Burapha and Mahasarakam
Evangelism: 2800 Shared - 1200 Accepted
Ministry: English Camp, Bible Study, Performance and Witnessing Outreach, and Orphanage

Strongly influenced by Buddhism and a loyalty to their king, Thailand is bound by complicated beliefs in mysticism and reincarnation. It is difficult to maintain a pure lifestyle in Thailand because of extreme sexual immorality, drugs and decay in their social consciousness. The nation itself is a large tourist attraction, however, and so the people there are very open and hospitable.

It is not difficult finding opportunities to share the Gospel in Thailand and it is one of the only countries where you can see immediate fruit. The Thailand mission is typically the largest one consisting of several teams over many different locations. Many who accepted Christ through our mission trips have even become members of staff in the ministry as well. Now is the time for harvest in Thailand.

Post Russia

Ministry: English Camp, Korean Class, Summer Camp, Discipleship, Church Ministry, Personal Evangelism, Home stay

Russia was formerly the heart of Soviet Union, which was the center of communism. Russians are a very proud people, and they feel that they have much to boast about. They successfully placed the very first man on the moon, and have many other accomplishments beneath them.

There is a common saying in Russian, "Eta Rassia," which translates into "That's Russia." Despite their accomplishments, they are in need of improvements in their living conditions, yet they simply accept the way things are. Everything from the lack of supplies to the corruption of the police are justified and accepted by the simle phase: "Eta Rassia."

However, God opened doors for the Gospel as we sent a mission team to Russia for the first time this past summer. Our team was able to minister to the people in Vladvostok, and the responses of the people was amazing. More than half the people we shared the Gospel to gave a positive response, and even accepted Christ into their lives. The ministry in Russia is still in its early stages, and we need so many more to come and share the Gospel with the Russian people. We have a vision to change their mediocre phase of, "Eta Rassia," to "Eta Christ." Come help change Russia for the Lord!

Our very first Inter-State mission to Hawaii began this past summer to provide a mission opportunity for students who were unable to participate in overseas mission projects. Hawaii KCCC began under the supervision of Bora Kim in 2002, and the ministry has currently spread to four different campuses in Hawaii.

A total of 22 students were sent to Hawaii this past summer for evangelism and outreach. Our students worked with the campus ministry in Hawaii, and we would like to continue to strengthen our bond with the ministry in Hawaii by furthering inter-State mission project opportunities.

Post Summer Mission 2006 Orientation

For the past 8 years, KCCC has been sending short-term missionaries to various countries, where the gospel is most urgently needed. The target within our mission fields are university and college campuses, where the future leaders, who have the potential to change the course of any nation, are being education and raised up.

In addition, we strive to revive local churches with the hope and dynamic energy that our mission teams can provide. Countless short-term mission participants were awed as they experienced God in the mission field, and many have committed their lives for life-long missions work. Nevertheless, we see that every summer, the fields are white and ready for harvest. As Christ expressed, we are in need of workers to bring in the harvest. We need workers who are willing to fulfill the Great Commission within our generation. We sincerely pray that every student would participate in God's salvation work throughout the world, by joining our summer mission projects.

Every country, even a much closed one, has a window of opportunity - a way or a group of people to whom we can share the Gospel. In the past six years KCCC has sent more than 900 students to 10 countries in hopes of sharing the Gospel and bringing the season of Christ to these nations, as they are the future leaders of these countries. By challenging the young generation, we hope to change the direction of these nations and fill the needs of local churches by bringing them hope and energy.

The students who have participated in our summer mission projects will testify that they were able to witness God in action and they return with a new attitude towards missions and ministry.

Despite the growth of our summer projects these past five years, we still sense a deep yearning as we look on the harvest and realize that the workers are truly few. We are still in desperate need of workers if we are to fulfill the Great Commission in our generation. We challenge every student to consider participating in this year's summer mission project. It will be a life-changing encounter with the Lord and a fulfilling experience in every way.
