Campus Crusade for Christ International® | Cru®
JUNE 25 – 28, 2026
Be Refreshed.
A unique gathering designed for you.
We would like to personally invite you to the Global Connection—a special gathering designed just for you. This is more than an event. It’s a time of renewal, worship, and vision—a moment to witness God’s incredible work around the world and consider how you can join Him in His mission.
Surrounded by a community of like-minded believers—leaders who see their influence and resources as tools for eternal impact—we’ll worship, pray, and celebrate the ways God is moving across the nations.
You’ll hear powerful stories of transformation and discover meaningful ways to partner in God’s global work. I believe God is writing a powerful story in our time—and He’s inviting you to be part of it.
I hope you’ll join us for Global Connection in Vail. I look forward to seeing you there.

Escape to the Rocky Mountains at The Hythe in Vail, Colorado
The Hythe is a luxe mountain retreat nestled in Lionshead Village, where pedestrian-only streets overflow with patios, quaint boutiques, and blooming flowers. Exploring by foot is one of the best ways to soak in every moment—and vista—of your retreat.
Hike, bike, or take a gondola up the mountain. During the summer, Vail Mountain offers plenty of options for outdoor activities and exploring the area.
