Campus Crusade for Christ is developing apps to help you engage in ministry within Facebook. Some of these apps give you, and anyone visiting your fan page, access to all of the features and functions from another website, like Starting With God. By bringing this content to your profile and fan pages, your friends can now engage in the Gospel along side you without needing to leave their Facebook ecosystem.

In this video, we’ll show you where to find our apps, install them, and how to place a tab in your navigation bar on your fan and profile pages for all to see.
