"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
-Lamentations 3:22-23
As this year comes to a close, I am reflecting on the steadfast faithfulness of our God. He has exceeded our expectations and answered many of your prayers. I remember in September, asking for prayer for full, vibrant Bible courses. This year, we have had an abundant overflow of students participating in weekly Bible courses. The students love the Bible course manuals which provide rich, in-depth studies of each lesson. In addition to full Bible courses, we prayed for gospel exposures and the name of Jesus to saturate the entire campus of Brown University. Starting with freshman campaign, where we had a string of events all throughout September to welcome students, as well as worship events on campus, tabling and handing out books and scripture tracts, and our latest campaign, CU Rise, we have had an incredible amount of gospel exposures! This year, we have had more students dive into questions about Christianity than I have ever seen in years past. It is evidence that the Lord of the harvest is on the move on our campus!

College campuses across the country recently had protest encampments that lasted several weeks. Despite the tension that existed, our students in CU Libertas responded with humility and love. We were able to take prayer walks around the Main Green where students were rallying and had placed tents on campus to bring attention to their pleas. Our prayers for the student body were answered as the encampment has since ceased.
As we transition into the summer, please pray for our student leaders as they prepare for how the Lord would call them to minister to their peers next year. We are placing our hope (In Deo Speramus, coat of arms of Brown University) in the Lord, that this year was the catalyst for preparation for hearts to be awakened to the truth of the Gospel.
Thank you for your prayers and support, we could not have made an impact on campus without your generosity this year. May the God of all hope fill you with all joy and peace!
In Christ,
