Pray for Dartmouth

Dear CU Vox Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn – Isaiah 61:1-2
As always, I thank you for your prayers for us! We’ve reached the middle of the term, which at Dartmouth, with just 10 weeks each, means we’re already near the end. But God has been moving! Vine, our weekly Leadership Lecture Series, is well-established, with consistent live worship, regular guest speakers, student testimonies, and more. Our student leaders' vision is beginning to broaden as well now that our immediate needs of the beginning of the term are solved, dreaming of how we can impact the campus for the Kingdom of God.

Dear CU Vox Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
First, I must thank each and every one of you for your prayers during our campaign to welcome the '27s to campus. We truly appreciate it and felt your love continuously. And by the grace of God each student at Dartmouth will feel the effect of them as well through our ministry. Because of us, and because of you, the gospel is going forth! Our CU Vox students, even students new to the ministry, describe our group and space as a “safe haven” from the craziness and frequent Godlessness of college life. It is the rarest of students that can exist as a bold, healthy Christian without a Godly community to encourage and strengthen them. CU Vox is that community at Dartmouth.

Dear CU Vox Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” - Matthew 9:35-38 (ESV)

Dear CU Vox Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
Praise God that the gospel is going forth at Dartmouth! Throughout this summer, students continue regularly using our amazing Ministry Center, despite the beautiful weather outside. The 24-hour prayer room, well-stocked fridge, and cupboards are particular highlights. Especially as we’ve hit midterm exam season, the students have been staying later and later to finish their studies.

Dear CU Vox Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
Greetings from CU Vox! As I watch the snow fall and praise God for his beautiful creation, I am reminded of Revelation 21:5, which says that “He who was seated on the throne said, ‘I am making everything new!’” In this spirit, our prayer request is simple: for divine newness and renewal as we finish the winter term, endure the finals, and look toward the spring.

Dear CU Vox Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
This time of year is bittersweet. There is joy in seeing the class of 2022 graduate, excitement for what is in store for them, thankfulness for a rest from classes and work, and anticipation of both the summer term and the new academic year, but it is also difficult. Saying goodbye to students with whom I have spent several years is tough. In John 3:27, as John the Baptist’s followers are leaving to go to Jesus, he says, “A person cannot receive even one thing unless it is given him from heaven.” He is essentially telling people that the followers weren’t his and that they belong to Jesus. I tend to think of the students as MY students, MY friends, MY children, and in some sense that is true. The bigger truth, the better truth, is that they belong to God; they aren’t mine, they are His. My sincere hope is that this senior class will take all that they learned here at Dartmouth and use that training to glorify God and bless whatever new community in which they find themselves.

Dear CU Vox Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
Hello from Hanover and greetings from CU Vox. We are midway through spring term and rapidly approaching graduation. We have much in front of us in the life of this ministry and are excited about what God is doing on campus. A few brief highlights from the past month are: a successful and enjoyable student retreat, the new student executive team is settled in and thriving, and attendance in Bible courses is up. All of this wonderful gospel work is only possible because of God’s faithfulness, the efforts of the students, and your prayerful support.

Dear CU Vox Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
“This is my Father’s world and to my listening ears, all nature sings and round me rings, the music of the spheres.” It is the spring term here at Dartmouth. If you’ve ever been to Hanover in April it doesn’t mean warm temperatures or even the end of snow, but it does represent newness and rebirth.

Dear CU Vox Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
“You stayed up late to finish a paper so now you’re relying on caffeine to make it through the day. You’re stressed but professors keep piling on the schoolwork. Like some mutant academic hydra, every time you cut down an assignment, two more grow in its place.” These are the opening lines to an article by Andy Cimbala published recently on The Gospel Coalition website. This is a great encapsulation of how most Dartmouth students are feeling. The winter term is ending which means that finals, spring break plans, internship applications, and more are on the minds of our students. Burnout and exhaustion are a daily struggle but we are not without hope. Our identity is not rooted in our performance nor our capacity but in God who calls us His sons and daughters. This truth doesn’t make the work disappear, but it does give us the strength to endure. As spring break approaches, join me in thanking God for another term filled with Bible courses, worship, evangelism, discipleship, relationship building, and prayer. Here are two specific requests and a praise:

Dear CU Vox Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
Hello from Hanover! As many of you know, the Dartmouth academic calendar is different than most schools. Winter term classes began on January 4th so we are well underway with life and ministry. The start of a new year and a new term always bring renewed energy and enthusiasm. It’s always a delight to have the campus filled with students and bursting with activity. The rhythms of Bible courses, daily prayer, social events, Leadership Lecture Series, and one-on-one mentorship are well established and are serving to challenge and encourage the students this term. Join me in praying for these items:
