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 What is STINT?

All Christians feel the burden of missions at least once in their lives.
The STINT (STaff INTernship) program provides six-month to one-year programs involving firsthand missions experience with local missionaries through language, cultural and ministry training. It provides an excellent opportunity for interns to discover their calling, learn how to utilize their talents to serve and commit to being a sending or going-missionary.

After the start of short-term missions to the Philippines in 1990, Korea CCC began a more extensive missionary training program in September of 1991 called STINT. That year, it commissioned 20 students to Japan and is currently sending 1,000 students to seven nations around the world. Last June, LA KCCC began its first STINT program by sending eight interns to East Asia, Japan, and Kazakhstan.

Though the commitment of six months to one year of their lives was an obstacle for the eight interns, nothing could hinder their deep desire to be partakers in the harvest field for the Lord. (Three of the interns are back here at Vision Conference, and the other five will continue their training for six more months).

As a program for students who wish to dedicate six months to a year as short-term missionaries. STINT (Short Term INTernational) members share the Gospel overseas while working with the local missionaries. Student housing is provided on the local college campuses with language courses readily available to aid in the ministry work.

Post Stint Info

A Great Learning Adventure
Students are welcome to dedicate a year of their lives for an exciting adventure in mission field. STINT interns will have the opportunity to work with the directors and staff in the main headquarters. The program will provide a combination of utilizing the education you received in college and the talents God gave you to facilitate evangelism and discipleship.

Foreign Language Training
Skillful and faithful workers are needed all over the world for the spiritual harvest. Speaking at least one foreign language is essential in this day and age. Your program training will begin with learning a new language. The STINT program has recruited excellent staff for teaching language classes. At least 2-4 hours a day in the morning (Monday-Friday) are given to language classes and time is allowed in the afternoon to go out on campus and practice speaking to native students.

Community Life
God is interested in the fellowship and character of His worker. Through experiencing life as a community, you can identify the personal differences in your group and learn to adapt and unit for a higher purpose. There are residence homes for the trainees in all the headquarters, except for the East Asia regions, which provide campus housing for the interns. You will build up teamwork and unity through group prayers and accountability.

Post STINT Headquarters

East Asia (Director: Joshua Na & staffs)
The East Asia interns will enroll in universities and live on campus in one of 30 possible universities. In this part of the world, security is critical and the mere gathering of a group can be cause for suspicion. Unlike any other place, the students are placed in almost equal positions with the local staff in the ministry. It is more akin to real mission work than training because of the hands-on experience. Therefore, spiritual and character maturity is greatly challenged. The training period is 1 year, beginning in the month of August.

Japan (Directors: Sung Chul, KCCC & Mike Ebert, CCCI)
Both KCCC and CCCI have been sending STINT members to Japan for some time. Compared to other nations, Japan is easy to enter. However, due to its intricate language, complex social patterns and beliefs, and deeply rooted evil practices such as idol worship to thousands of gods, Japan is one of the most difficult places for missionaries to do ministry. Many missionaries are sent to Japan, but the fruits of their labor are slow to appear. But a new movement is growing among the young people on campus that is bringing to the ministry in Japan.
