Campus Crusade for Christ, one of America’s largest charity organizations, is famous for spreading the ‘Good News’ at colleges. But less is known about its anti-gay work overseas.

Like many a Daily Beast reader, I found Campus Crusade for Christ to be somewhere between annoying and amusing. You remember them from college: the Jesus freaks, intent on spreading the “Good News,” somewhere between quaint and creepy.

Turns out, CCC—now rebranded, ludicrously, as “Cru”—is a massive organization, and involved in some of the meanest homophobia-for-export in Africa. Not so amusing anymore.

Remarkably, CCC is No. 20 on Forbes magazine’s list of the largest charity organizations in America, with $548 million in annual receipts in 2013, $503 million of which are donations. (Presumably the rest are Cru-branded sweatshirts.) This is an impressive achievement, to put it mildly—most of the other top 20 are household names such as United Way and the Salvation Army.

3. Well, those are their deeply- and sincerely-held religious beliefs.

Perhaps they have "another way of knowing" that god disapproves of homosexuality. Can you prove them wrong?
