Dear CU Lumine Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
Greetings and Happy New Year from New York City! We are excited about kicking off the spring semester. We just completed a several-day retreat with the Christian Union faculty at Camp of the Woods in NY. We had an opportunity to seek God, pray, participate in individual and group scripture reading, and come together in praise and worship to prepare for the upcoming spring semester.
We have seen God’s faithfulness during the fall 2024 semester. We had an increase in freshman students signing and participating in Bible courses, a consistent number of students participating in our leadership lecture series, and students attending our weekly prayer meetings. We are expecting God to do greater things in 2025 on the campus of Columbia University.
As we anticipate the students' return from winter break, Viviana and I are spending individual and corporate time in prayer, as we prepare for our upcoming student winter retreat to Harvey Cedar Bible Conference Center at the end of January. We anticipate taking approximately forty students away for the weekend. It will be an opportunity for the students to reconnect in community, seek God, and pray for His direction during the semester. We are also looking forward to kicking off our spring Bible courses, leadership lecture series, and student-led prayer meetings.
Please join us as we continue to pray:
for our students: to have the courage and boldness to share their faith with their peers and not to be intimidated by opposition.
pray for me: I appreciate and welcome your prayers as I lead this ministry.
Thank you for all you do. Your prayers and support change the lives of students at Columbia.
Blessings in Christ,
