Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
As I write you this letter, we are nearing the final stretch of the semester here in Princeton. There are only two weeks of classes left. As we near the end of the Spring semester, we continue to see the fruit of your prayers and support!

Dear Prayer Partners,
The spring semester at Yale always seems to fly by, and here we find ourselves again entering the final week of classes. As our Bible courses wrap up, yet even before we send off our graduating seniors, pray for their transition to the next stage of their lives as we rejoice at what God is doing in our midst now.
First off, we thank God for raising up bright new student leaders to carry our ministry forward this next year and beyond. We prayed last spring that God would send us leaders in the incoming class, and He has delivered in a big way. With a current sophomore and two first-years leading our new executive team, and several first-year students stepping into other key leadership positions, we are a young ministry moving forward. We are excited to see what God will do through these young men and women who have already demonstrated not only bold faith, creativity and an eagerness to serve, but also teachability and a real hunger to know God and make Him known together. Please pray for these student leaders, up and running in their new positions as of a few weeks ago, that God will continue to guide, embolden and strengthen them—that they will continue to draw near to God, and He to them.

We'll scorch the earth
In part one of this post, I began to explore the meaning of the subdue/rule language of the Creation Mandate in Genesis 1:26-28 with the help of Richard Middleton’s book, The Liberating Image: The Imago Dei in Genesis 1. If you haven’t already done so, I invite you to take a few minutes to go back and read that post and catch up before continuing with this post.
We'll scorch the earth
Set fire to the sky
We stoop so low
to reach so high
A link is lost
The chain undone
We wait all day
For night to come
And it comes
Like a hunter child
- Bono
(Christ Jesus) had equal status with God but didn’t think so much
of himself that he had to cling to the advantages of that status no
matter what. Not at all. When the time came, he set aside the privileges
of deity and took on the status of a slave, became human!
...He lived a selfless, obedient life and then died a selfless,
obedient death—and the worst kind of death at that—a crucifixion.
- Phil. 2:6-8 (The Message)

The Nexus 2018 theme of "Turn the World Upside Down" comes from Acts 17, when Christians were accused of turning the world upside down with the message of Jesus Christ. What does it mean to turn the world upside down with the Good News? In God’s "upside down" economy, Christ died so that we might live, the weak are strong, the poor are rich. How can we be a part of what God is doing today? These questions were at the heart of Nexus.
For one weekend, students worshiped and prayed together, heard from high-caliber speakers, experienced engaging breakout sessions, connected with one another in small groups, and built cross-campus ties around shared challenges and opportunities.
