Dear CU Vita Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

On behalf of the students and staff of Christian Union Vita, I wish you a happy New Year! We are looking forward to the spring semester at Cornell, trusting God for His continued faithfulness and grace to our ministry. God has richly blessed this group of students, fanned into flame gifts and talents, brought students to faith in Jesus Christ, and matured believers for the glory of His Name on this campus. We could not do this without you. Thank you for your continued prayers and support. God is working through you for the glory of His Son Jesus at Cornell. We praise God for this partnership in the gospel!
As we approach this new semester at Cornell, please pray that the recent spike in COVID infections would abate. Pray for our upcoming Bible courses: Romans, Sex and Spirituality, and Seeking God. Pray that our students would learn more about God and His Word, be transformed by the power of His Truth, and draw closer to Him and one another through these studies. Pray for our new outreach efforts. We are planning several new initiatives for the upcoming semester, including student testimony events, book giveaways, and discussion groups in order to share the gospel of Christ with more students at Cornell. Pray that many come to faith in Jesus! Pray for our student leaders and our staff, for spiritual strength, wisdom, love, joy, and confidence in the Lord as we minister on this campus for the glory of Christ and the gospel.

Thank you.

Jim Thomforde
