Brian Barela’s Summary
My life passion is to see resources leveraged and maximized to help fulfill the Great Commission.
I have been involved in leading a team of campus ministers at CSU, Chico for the last 4 years.
I have also directed Campus Crusade's National Conference for Latino students, the Destino Conference, in 2007 and 2008.
A passion of mine is seeing our organization grow in its capacity to work through social networks and online platforms. To that end, I started the first Campus Crusade Blogference in 2008, where 5 Hosts led an online discussion about various ministry related topics for 5 days. I hope to see more events of this kind in the future.

The Blogference started with just 25 people, but by the end of the week had over 150 participants. -
