It has come to my attention that a lot of people actually don't know many of the terms that I have been using throughout my previous blog posts. I get it, it can seem a bit confusing that there are so many acronyms.
So, I've come to clear things up and explain to the best of my abilities (with the help of the cru website) what all of these terms mean.
- CCC: Campus Crusade for Christ is an evangelical Christian organisation that does its ministry mainly in universities. CCC was founded in 1951, by Bill Bright in UCLA, and has since become an international organisation that is active in around 1.740 campuses in 191 countries around the world. In 2011 CCC officially changed their name to Cru. I personally am a member of the KyungSung University CCC here in Busan, South Korea.
- KC3: Korean Campus Crusade for Christ is a subbranch of Cru that caters mostly (but not strictly) to Korean students living in Korea and in the USA.
- SJ: SunJang (순장), which refers to a disciple maker. In this sense meaning a student who is a part of CCC who is a spiritual mentor to 1 or more disciples.
- SW: SunWon (순원) a spiritual disciple.
- STINT: stands for Short Term INTernational. Refers to an international missions training that is sanctioned by CCC. I am planning to go to STINT Atlanta, meaning that through CCC I am going to be going to ATL to do mission work and undergo missions training. (but more on that in a later post)
Because I am now studying in Korea and am enrolled in CCC in a Korean University, a lot of the terms that are used are from Korean words. Those were the 5 words that will probably pop up a lot on this blog. So, I hope that has cleared the air a little.
