“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.” - Colossians 1:15-17
May this email find you well and rejoicing in Jesus as we are during this beautiful fall season here in New England. Thank you for your support of CU Gloria at Harvard. It makes a huge difference for our team and leaders knowing we have a team of friends like you praying for us and for the good work and fruitful ministry taking place through CU Gloria at Harvard.
It has been a full and wonderful Fall as we have been studying the book of Colossians together across all our Bible Courses. The last several Friday nights in our weekly Leadership Lecture Series, Doxa, have been very powerful as guests like Dr. Flynn Cratty addresses the topic of humility in his talk “The Way Up is Down” and Dr. Rebecca McLaughlin answers the question “Is Christianity Bad for Women?” Other Doxa highlights include a Baptism debate we hosted with Pastor Nick Nowalk as well as a testimony night, which was a massive encouragement to the community to see how God is at work in the lives of their peers.
At a couple of recent outreach tabling events in the Science Center Plaza we were able to connect with many students, have really good conversations about Jesus and the gospel, as well as give out lots of copies of the New Testament. Please pray for those seeds that were sown, that they would bring fruit in people’s lives.
Please join us in praying for the following:
- That our students would be filled with boldness for witness and have a love for the lost on campus, and their friends who are far from Jesus.
- That the seeds that are sown on campus through evangelism and outreach would bear much fruit in the lives of people.
- That we would see revival on campus and a harvest of souls coming to Christ in the midst of this season we are in.
Thank you for your prayers and support, which God is greatly using to grow the ministry impact at CU Gloria. We would be grateful if you are led to give a donation at this secure link!
