Let “every valley be lifted up and every mountain and hill be made low” that the glory of the Lord may be revealed (Is 40:4)!
The world may be distracted by matters related to Covid, and restrictions may limit student interaction in many ways, but the glory of the Lord is being revealed within Christian Union Nova as we kick off a new semester!
Not only are students within the ministry demonstrating resilience, but the atmosphere has been charged with wide-eye energy and a pursuit for God that I can only attribute to your prayers as partners, our constant prayers as faculty and staff, as well as the ardent prayers of students.
He is hearing and working through each of us, and I perceive a greater sense of purpose—a sort of comeback mentality that overcomes, a disposition of strength as new students embrace leadership responsibility and older students demonstrate support and camaraderie within the community.
When Bible courses began for the semester (without the allure of food) students participated in strong numbers to begin the study of Romans. During both large group meetings (TruThursday and Encounter), campus space was denied, yet students adapted and gathered online with commitment and resolve! At both venues, the worship had a greater anointing, while the messages from our guest speakers resonated in earnest as they talked about the meaning of a Seeking God Lifestyle.
Quite simply, the semester has begun with a beautiful display of God’s glory—a climate that seems to whisper revival within Christian Union Nova!
And, we couldn’t be more encouraged. If you’d like to continue praying for us, and in agreement with us, we’re trusting God, to:
- Convict and encourage students to keep/make God the priority, despite distractions and responsibilities.
- Bring increase to all Bible courses, but in particular, our male groups.
- Empower and encourage our faithful seniors as they begin work on their theses.
- Grow confidence and leadership skills within new student leaders.
- Reveal and present to the ministry a viable and committed CU Nova Ministry Director at Princeton for 2022-’23.
With these requests in mind, thank you for your diligent support, sincere care, and overall commitment to the Princeton campus. You are a blessing!
Agapé!
