Jim Barr, Director of Marketing for BibleWorks
CCO staff, 1981-84 (Thiel College)
My three years with the CCO were tremendously helpful in so many ways. I developed personally and professionally while establishing relationships that I have cherished through the years. The senior CCO staff helped me develop my strengths (while overcoming my weaknesses) all the while helping me discover how I can best use my gifts to glorify God (without necessarily becoming a pastor or missionary). Although I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do after graduating from college, after working with the CCO, I obtained a master’s degree in public affairs journalism and have greatly enjoyed a 20-year career as a writer and marketing director. The CCO helped me understand what lifelong service is all about.
