Vonette Zachary Bright (July 2, 1926 – December 23, 2015) was an American author, speaker, and the co-founder of Campus Crusade for Christ, now called Cru. Bright was born in Coweta, Oklahoma, and graduated with a B. A. degree in Home Economic and a minor in Chemistry from Texas Women's University in 1948. That summer she attended a conference with her fiance Bill Bright at Forest Home Christian Conference Center, where she prayed to receive Christ under the spiritual direction of Henrietta Mears.[1][2] That same year, she and Bill were married on December 30, 1948. In 1951, the couple moved into the Bel-Air home of Mears and from there launched Campus Crusade for Christ, until their move to their new headquarters at Arrowhead Springs ten years later.[3][4] Bright was known for her prayer rallies, her work as the chair of the National Day of Prayer task force which helped establish a fixed day for the event under Ronald Reagan, and as a chairperson (and one of the three women on the committee) on the Lausanne Committee for World Evangelization. She was also the author or co-author of more than 20 books, including, In His Hands, Passion for Prayer, and the "Sister Circle" Series. Bright adopted a less provocative stance on social issues than her husband, but was outgoing and articulate and often spoke at conferences.[5] After Bill's death in 2003, Vonette continued her ministry work until her death in 2015. She was survived by her two married sons and four grandchildren.[4] References1. ^http://vonettebright.cru.org/story {{DEFAULTSORT:Bright, Vonette Zachary}}2. ^Bright, In His Hands, 47. 3. ^Bright, In His Hands, 124. 4. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Smietana|first1=Bob|title=Died: Vonette Bright, Co-Founder of Campus Crusade for Christ|url=http://www.christianitytoday.com/gleanings/2015/december/died-vonette-bright-co-founder-of-campus-crusade-for-christ.html|accessdate=20 November 2016|work=Christianity Today|date=23 December 2015}} 5. ^{{cite news|last1=Schudel|first1=Matt|title=Vonette Bright, co-founder of Campus Crusade for Christ, dies at 89|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/religion/vonette-bright-co-founder-of-campus-crusade-for-christ-dies-at-89/2015/12/26/4a381218-ac06-11e5-8058-480b572b4aae_story.html|accessdate=20 November 2016|work=Washington Post|date=26 December 2015}} 5 : 1926 births|2015 deaths|American evangelists|Texas Woman's University alumni|People from Coweta, Oklahoma |
