ORLANDO, Fla. — Bill Bright, the ailing founder of Campus Crusade for Christ, has chosen his eventual successor as chairman of Global Pastors Network.
Author and speaker John C. Maxwell, chairman of the INJOY Group in Atlanta, will succeed Bright, the co-founder of the network, following Bright's death. Bright has pulmonary fibrosis, a life-threatening disease.
Global Pastors Network is a worldwide Internet operation that distributes training materials to pastors worldwide. Construction of a headquarters facility for the network, The Bill Bright Leadership Center, is being planned near the Orlando, Fla., headquarters of Campus Crusade for Christ.
Maxwell, who is involved in global efforts to train Christian leaders, will eventually work with other evangelical Christian executives to oversee the network.
