During the late 1960s , Campus Crusade in line with its conservative , anti-Communist orientation organized counter-demonstrations against New Left and anti-war demonstrations including those by the left-wing Students for a Democratic Society ( SDS ) . Several Campus Crusade members also took the opportunity to evangelize during the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago . Campus Crusade also ran a hippie &ndash; oriented outreach called the Christian World Liberation Front ( CWLF ) to engage the New Left . CWLF 's ministry focused on establishing safe houses and " crash pads " for drug addicts , infiltrating SDS meetings , and persuading student radicals to abandon violence . While CWLF received funding and support from Campus Crusade , the latter was discreet to conceal its involvement to avoid antagonizing conservative donors and potential CWLF converts
