Dr. Bright founded Campus Crusade for Christ and fully invested himself into its ministry for more than five decades.
In addition to his life-changing work with Campus Crusade, Dr. Bright composed a very important booklet entitled The Four Spiritual Laws, which has been printed in approximately 200 languages since 1956. He also commissioned the JESUS film in 1979, a film that has been viewed by more than 5.1 billion people.
In 1996, Dr. Bright was presented with the prestigious Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion. The Templeton Prize is the world's largest financial annual award, worth more than one million dollars. Not surprisingly, Dr. Bright donated all of his prize money to causes promoting the spiritual benefits of fasting and prayer.
Dr. Bright went to be with the Lord on July 19, 2003.
