They’re back!!! At least two-thirds of Princeton students will return to campus this spring, and we could not be more excited to see them return. While much of our ministry will remain the same as it pertains to zoom Bible courses and weekly meetings, the ability to reconnect with one another in person is a blessing that is almost indescribable. Our God made us for community and face-to-face fellowship and our students finally get to return to a semblance of that. Additionally, it means that ministry fellows can begin meeting 1-on-1 with students who are comfortable doing so. I can tell you that there is much rejoicing.
As we move on in this unique time of ministry, we now face the challenge of having students both near and far. Finding ways to juggle connection with students both on campus and off will be difficult, but God is faithful and will provide us with a vision for moving forward. We have a plan this semester to bring more alumni alongside us in order to connect our graduating seniors with others who value seeking God outside their time at Princeton. We are hopeful that these connections will bless both our students and our alumni in ways we cannot even guess. We are quite thankful for their contributions.
Please pray along with us for the following:
- Rejoice for the students being able to be in real life community once again. Rejoice that they can fellowship in person instead of on a screen.
- Pray for those who are still away from campus. Pray that they would continue to find community both with other students over Zoom, but also with their local community.
- Continue to pray for our new student leadership that is taking over in the spring semester. Pray that they would lead and serve their fellow students in a Christ-like manner.
- Pray for our Bible courses this semester. (Freshmen: Seeking God Lifestyle/Sex & Spirituality; sophomores/juniors: Acts; seniors: Vocational Preparation). May God be glorified through them.
- Continue praying about becoming a Cornerstone Partner with us to help us be able to reach the Princeton campus with the truth of the gospel. We need your prayers and your financial support to make this possible.
As always, we thank you for your prayers and support. You are our brothers and sisters in Christ. And we look forward to seeing what our Father will continue to do through our service to see revival happen on this campus. Have a blessed day.
