Jubilee 2012 through the eyes of Byron Borger, Official Bookseller of the CCO
It has been my custom to share a rather long post this time each year, reflecting on our role at the annual Jubilee conference, sponsored by the CCO and filling you in a bit on the books that sold there. CCO is the campus ministry organization for whom we regularly sell books, that Beth and I worked for the late 70s, being with Penn State students in McKeesport, PA…
Many great CCO leaders have come and gone over the years and tons of extraordinary staff have touched upwards towards a million students since their humble beginnings at a few Pittsburgh-based schools, so my own role isn’t large. But I have been given the opportunity to teach a lot of classes, speak at a lot of campuses, helped consult with Jubilee committees over the years and sold a boatload of books in the last decades, so we are (how to say this?) humbly glad to see the CCO’s Jubilee vision continue to be articulated and lived with integrity so consistently over the years. CCO does excellent work partnering with churches and colleges and the Jubilee event bears witness to their slogan “transforming college students to transform the world.” Beth and I and our store staff are honored to get to play a small role in it. It is the coolest thing we do all year! Thanks be to God and thanks to the CCO.
