Dear CU Libertas Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

Greetings from Christian Union Libertas at Brown University! We are so very grateful for your many prayers and financial support that make this ministry possible. As is the case every spring, time flies by quickly. Just this past weekend, we had the privilege of celebrating our graduating seniors as Brown hosted commencement ceremonies. We’re very thankful to have shared life with these wonderful young women and men over the last four years. They’ve worked so hard during their time here on campus and have resiliently faced the challenges and difficulties presented by Covid. I’m sure none of them even imagined their senior year would look like this, but despite it all, they’ve remained encouraging and loving toward their peers, and a pleasure for us to serve as ministry faculty.

Would you please praise God for His goodness, provision, and kindness towards CU Libertas over this academic year and would you join us in praying for these specific requests:

Pray for our freshmen as they get ready to begin their second semester here on campus. It’s unusual, to say the least, but we’re excited to have them around and eagerly hope this summer semester will provide unprecedented enthusiasm and momentum heading into the fall.

Pray for our seniors as they leave campus and begin a new season of life. Many will head to graduate school and many will begin internships. Pray that they will find new and exciting opportunities to serve Christ wherever the Lord leads them next.

Pray that the Lord would raise up even more student leaders here on campus. We’re eager to welcome all students back to campus in the fall and even more excited to resume our normal, in-person programming. To make our outreach and evangelistic initiatives have the impact we desire, we need more students ready to assume the responsibilities of leading the ministry towards our goal of reaching all of campus—student and faculty alike—with the love of Christ.

Thank you for your faithful and enduring partnership!

Matt Woodard
CU Libertas Ministry Director
