Missionary among students finds work rewarding
Donna Behrend
Generally, when a person
chooses their career, that
person expects to be financially
rewarded, improve their self
esteem, improve their social
status and be praised by
superiors for a job well-done.
H ow ever, in C h arlen e
B ru n o’s p a rticu la r ca se,
financial rewards for a job well-
done depend on the generosity
o f d on ors, the econ om ic
weather and literally knocking
on doors for donations. For
Charlene, the biggest and most
important reward comes from
God.
Charlene works at the
h ead q u arters o f C am pus
Crusade for Christ, Interna
tional in San Bernadino,
California, where she has
worked since 1980. Charlene
joined the organization in 1977
after graduating from Oregon
State University in 1976 with a
degree in secondary education.
After teaching for a short
while, she joined Campus
Crusade for Christ and moved
to Madison, Wisconsin and.
worked at the University of
Wisconsin, Madison dealing
mainly with Asian students,
conducting Bible studies and

helping students with their
English.
In 1980, she moved to sunny
southern California to work at
the organization’s headquar
ters as European materials
coordinators. She refers to
herself as a “European goffer,”
gathering and getting supplies
to c r u s a d e r s w h o a re
statationed in Europe. “I work
with different vendors, book
c o m p a n ie s , a ir f r e ig h t
companies and, on occasion, I
have to obtain medical supplies
for people,” said Charlene.
Charlene explained the
organization as having begun
in 1951 by Dr. Bill and Vonette
Bright— w orking prim arily
with college students because
m o st C h ristia n m in istry
focused on slums and prisons.
By 1954, there were 10 full
time staff members. “Now
there are 16,000 working in 150
countries.
“All staff members are self-
supported—they raise their
own money to live, pay the rent
and pay for other expenses as
they come up.” The best thing
about this, says Charlene, is
that when you pledge so much
to a person, you know that the
money is going to that person,
not to administration fees or to
some unknown person.
Charlene has been living on
just such pledges for the past
five years. Donations are down
this year and it’s getting more
difficult to find people who are
f i n a n c i a l l y c a p a b le o f
supporting her. It’s especially
difficult for minorities, too,
says Charlene as she is one of
four native Americans on staff.
They have found because of
fewer contacts and for those
from small, rural areas, it’s
more difficult to raise the
pledges, than those who come
Charlene Bruno
from larger areas. Charlene is
down $450 per month from the
$1,300 she needs for living
expense.
Charlene finds it especially
difficult to come home and ask
for pledges. People are always
asking her when she is going to
get a “real” job and they accuse
her of begging for money. “I
trust in God,” said Charlene.
Also, she said, “support time
is a good time for reflection."
Each person asks themself if
this is really what they want to
do or if they should move on to
something elase.
The 26-year old Warm
Springs tribal member dreams
of one day being stationed in
China or Europe. Whatever,
she chooses, Charlene will no
doubt be deservedly happy
and fulfilled—which is what all
us desire in life.
