Dear CU Vita Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

As we look forward to next year, we are praying that God will continue his good work at Cornell. We are so happy to report that we have already connected with many incoming freshmen, and we would love to meet more. Please pray that our efforts would be fruitful and that many incoming students would find Christian community at Cornell. Our leaders are eager to introduce new students to our community and many of the new freshmen are spreading the word about CU Vita with their class as well. It is such a big life transition for these new Cornell students and we long to be used by God to extend his love and grace and friendship to them during this challenging time. Pray that we would have wisdom and that God would open many doors for the gospel with this incoming group.

Also, please pray for our pre-retreat, which will take place for two days at the Mott Center the first weekend of the semester. We and our leaders are starting to plan for this important time together and we ask that you pray that we would be filled with the Holy Spirit and empowered for ministry at Cornell in the year ahead. We long for revival and awakening at Cornell and we are so grateful that you stand with us in this prayer, that God would come and do a powerful, saving work in the lives of many across this campus. And please pray for our staff, that we would have the energy and focus to share Christ each and every day with these amazing students for the sake of His glory and His Great Name.
