Thank you for your ongoing commitment to spreading the Christian gospel and aiding those in
need. Your generosity is commendable, and makes a significant impact in our world. We do not
take it for granted that you choose to invest in the mission and ministry of the CCO (Coalition for
Christian Outreach), partnering with us to convey the hope of the gospel to a highly unreached
and unchurched generation – today’s college students. Thank you so very much!
For nearly 50 years, the Jubilee conference has been the CCO’s most tangible expression of our
mission: transforming college students to transform the world. Jubilee is an annual three-day,
dynamic weekend conference held in Pittsburgh. Four main-stage sessions trace the biblical arc
of Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration. Saturday evening closes with a clear
presentation of the gospel of Jesus Christ and an invitation for students to experience
transformation, life and hope through Him. Jubilee also features workshops that expose
students to Christians working in their chosen fields of study, helping them develop a vision for
serving Jesus in whatever field they choose.
As a means of testifying to some of the impact of your giving, we’d like to share a couple stories
from Jubilee 2024 with you.
From Celeste – CCO Campus Staff at Washington and Jefferson College, Washington, PA
“Jubilee 2024 left a lasting impression on me. Two of my most hesitant students made a
decision to believe in Jesus. During the call to commitment, students began coming forward. I
had the opportunity to pray for one student, then shortly after, my own students approached
me. (I want you to know that I’ve been meeting with these two students for a year and a half,
and they were my most skeptical, hesitant students.) I assumed they wanted prayer, too, but to
my surprise they informed me that they now believed in God!
I asked, “Do you understand what that means?” They confidently replied, “Yes, we believe in
Jesus!”
This brought tears of joy to my eyes. Later that evening we attended a student-led prayer night.
They prayed fervently, sharing their deepest thoughts, their doubts and their gratitude to God. I
witnessed a spiritual awakening, seeing the lost being found and the faithless finding belief.”

From Ray – CCO Campus Staff at Penn State Abington, Abington, PA
“Several students who joined us at Jubilee had never been to our group before; they came
because of an invitation. Over the weekend, students grew in friendship with one another,
asked questions about God – and two students even gave their life to Christ for the first time!
I saw students who are shy break out of their shell, students be vulnerable with each other, pray
with each other and share their faith.
Jubilee isn’t the end goal, but a beginning for building and shaping students. In the two weeks
since Jubilee I’ve met with 24 of the students who came to Jubilee, to process the weekend with
them and help them move forward in their faith.”
We have many more stories from ministry this year, but perhaps this Jubilee highlight video
succinctly expresses the impact we are having on students’ lives:
Together, with your partnership, we are spreading the gospel across the nation. Again, we are so
grateful and humbled by your support! Thank you!
