Bill Bright Initiative

Dr. Bill Bright, the late co-founder of the Global Pastors Network and founder of Campus Crusade for Christ International (CCCI), cast the vision of reaching one billion people for Christ and planting millions of new churches.

In the last two years of his life, Dr. Bright cast the vision of reaching one billion people for Christ and planting five million new churches. In the late Spring of 2003, the last few months of his life, Dr. Bright mailed out more than forty batons to key Christian leaders asking them to pick up this vision after he was gone.

Many renowned Christian leaders committed to fulfilling this vision and doing it together.

On August 19, 2004, a global conference call bought Christian world leaders to agree to work together toward fulfilling the vision of this remarkable man.

On December 7-8, 2004, sixty five world leaders agreed at the Bill Bright Initiative held at CCCI in Orlando to adopt the vision of Five Million New Churches to bring one billion people to Christ as a worthy goal.

Mark Anderson, now President of the Global Pastors Network has picked up the baton, and is facilitating congresses throughout the globe over the next 2-3 years to strategize in all areas of mission to reach the unreached.
