Dear CU Vox Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

“We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.” -1 John 2:3-6 (NIV)

After a student joins Christian Union Vox, the real work begins. We are not here just to put names on a list, but instead to disciple Christians to live like Jesus lived and do what Jesus did. John is clear: if we want to call ourselves Christians, we need to both know how Jesus lived and then live that way ourselves. There is no shortcut past obedience.

And that’s what we’ve been doing on a daily basis here. We’ve had speakers coming every week, talking on topics from evangelism to marriage. We’ve more than doubled our average attendance, bringing in many of the new class of 2028 to help out. Dozens of students spend time studying in our offices, and I’ve been able to meet many more. The Socials team has been hard at work, as well, facilitating community and conversation with wonderfully crafted events. And our first-year men’s and first-year women’s Bible courses are going strong, with excellent attendance in both.

In short: God is at work, and we are privileged enough to see it. Praise His name!

We are still seeking more from God and relying on Him more than ever. Although He gave us the perfect blueprint for personal and societal change in his Word, the implementation of it remains the hardest, and most rewarding, part.

As we finish this term and send the students home, please consider supporting our work here with a year-end gift. Your investment directly benefits the lives of scores of students.

For His glory,
