Dear CU Gloria Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

As we enter a new semester of ministry to students, we are reminded of Psalm 31:19 which says: “Oh, how abundant is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you and worked for those who take refuge in you, in the sight of the children of mankind!”

During winter break, CU Gloria was able to continue ministering to students in a number of ways, chiefly through a series of workshops about Hearing God’s Voice, Spiritual Warfare, and Leadership. There was also a wealth of student-to-student ministry taking place through discipleship groups and two student-led reading groups throughout the break.

On the precipice of this spring, many Harvard students are now celebrating their return to campus during the last two weeks of January. There are around 2,000 students back in campus housing by the river and in the Quad along with many more in the surrounding area who are living off-campus. The joy and high energy of starting this new semester were felt during the first Leadership Lecture Series (DOXA) where a number of students shared powerful testimonies about God’s work in their lives during winter break.

Thank you for your prayers and support in the ministry. Many students are growing in their faith because of your investment in CU Gloria. Praises:

• Thank God for the good momentum in ministry at the beginning of this spring semester.
• Thank God for our new student exec team. They are an incredibly gifted and godly group of students and an answer to prayer.
• Thank God for the Winter Workshops which were fruitful, well-attended, and helped students in many practical ways.

Prayer Requests:

• That God would help the ministry fellows and assistant Bible course leaders in relaunching multiple Bible courses over the first couple weeks of the semester.
• That the Lord would visit Harvard’s campus and revive and awaken many students this year.

Thank you,

Fady Ghobrial
