  • Campus Crusade for Christ's secret language

    What's with all the acronymns that CCC has?!  My mom is always saying Campus Crusade for Christ has their own secret language.  And the longer I'm with Crusade, the longer the list gets.  So I thought I'd just let all in on our "secret language".  Here's an incomplete list:

    CCC = Campus Crusade for Christ

    CCCI - Campus Crusade for Christ International

    STINT = Short Term INTernational (a one to two year missions trip)

    ICS = International Campus Staff (long-term overseas), what I am now going to do in Japan

    SI = Student Impact, Japan's student ministry

    Epic = Campus Crusade's Asian American ministry, it's not an acronymn (though my friends have made up their own acronymns of what Epic COULD stand for!)

    MPD = Ministry Partner Development.  Every CCC staff member has a team of "ministry partners" to support them prayerfully, emotionally, financially, practically, etc..  MPD is the process of building that team.

    IBS = Institute of Biblical Studies (every staff member has to go through this to join staff)

    NST = New Staff Training

    SV = Student Venture, CCC's high school ministry

    SYATP = See You At the Pole, a national prayer day for high school students

    TnT = the computer program CCC staff use to monitor their financial support

    EFT = Electrontic Fund Transfer (donations can be direct deposited to CCC's central fund)

    The relational acronymns . . . (not CCC specific, but we use these a lot too - some more than others)

    DMI - Declare My Intentions

    DTR = Define the Relationship

    CTF = Clarify the Friendship

    CR = Conflict Resolution

    CTA = Clear The Air (very similar to Conflict Resolution!)

    And I'm sure there's more, but I can't think of any right now.  Can you?

    Hello Ms. Jessica,
    You made your site simple yet elegant. The pictures are a nice touch. I see that you have a strong desire to serve God. Now is a good time! I recommend the one true God, Jehovah. He has an important message for all of us: 1 And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. 2 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith Jehovah of hosts, then will I send the curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings; yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. (Malachi 2:1-2) (ASV)
