Dear CU Libertas Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

On behalf of all the staff and students at Christian Union Libertas, let me wish you a very Happy New Year! Thank you for your partnership in 2021, for your many prayers and financial contributions. We have so much to be thankful for and are filled with gratitude for all the great things the Lord has done here in the ministry and across campus.

Dear CU Lumine Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

On behalf of all the staff and students at Christian Union Lumine, let me wish you a Happy New Year. We pray you had a restful holiday. At present, Columbia University is on break and the Spring 2022 semester begins on Tuesday, January 18th.

Dear CU Vita Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

On behalf of the students and staff of Christian Union Vita, I wish you a happy New Year! We are looking forward to the spring semester at Cornell, trusting God for His continued faithfulness and grace to our ministry. God has richly blessed this group of students, fanned into flame gifts and talents, brought students to faith in Jesus Christ, and matured believers for the glory of His Name on this campus. We could not do this without you. Thank you for your continued prayers and support. God is working through you for the glory of His Son Jesus at Cornell. We praise God for this partnership in the gospel!

Dear Christian Union New York Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

Christian Union New York is delighted to gift you the free PDF version of the life-changing five-week study entitled “The Seeking God Lifestyle.”

Dear CU Lumine Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

With Thanksgiving behind, the Christmas holidays ahead, and the semester coming to a close in a few weeks, we are grateful for the Lord’s hand that has guided CU Lumine this academic semester.

The month of November was a busy one for CU Lumine. Our weekly Thursday night Illumina’s created a space for students to grow in their faith and invite friends that were seeking God. We had speakers teach on a range of topics from “How to Hear the Voice of God” to “Is the Bible Historically and Scientifically Reliable?” Each lecture was followed by a post-event—a vibrant student question and conversation time that would go late into the evening. Along with our Illumina’s, we were also able to host multiple student fellowship gatherings from pumpkin painting to our annual Friendsgiving celebration before the students went home for the break.

Dear CU Vox Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

All is quiet on campus with the students back home nestled in their beds with visions of sugarplums dancing in their heads. The term ended prior to Thanksgiving and the students are currently enjoying their much-earned rest. While I miss the energy and fellowship, December is a great time to reflect on the term gone by and to prepare for the term to come. It was a delight to be back together with everyone and to enjoy a time of study, fellowship, prayer, and worship. I’m eager to see the fruit God will produce and excited for the evangelistic efforts planned for the Winter Term. Please pray for Christian Union Vox in these specific ways:

“Everything from quarks to quasars, butterflies to brain cells, was created so that you and I might delight in the display of divine glory. We alone can glorify God by rejoicing in the beauty of His creative handiwork and relishing the splendor of His revelation in the Person and redemptive work of Jesus Christ.” —Kelly Monroe Kullberg, Founder of The Veritas Forum; Editor/Co-Author of Finding God (at/Beyond) Harvard

Dear CU Gloria Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

In the Apostle Paul’s closing exhortation in his letter to the church in Philippi, he shared a final imperative. He told them to focus on “whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise” [Phil. 4:8 ESV]. This is no small challenge in a society convulsed with hard news. This plea follows his equally challenging instruction to give thanks in all circumstances as we wrestle with anxiety and frame and express heartfelt prayers to God. I can't think of a more practical chapter in the scriptures to bolster our mental health. It has been a joy to compare notes with students who have had their young(er) worlds turned upside down for nearly two years. As I share this update and reflect on the quote I shared from KMK, I must confess that I feel the need to engage with this prescription once again!

Dear CU Nova Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
“All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
- Matthew 28:18-20
As we begin the liturgical season of Advent, we give thanks to God for the tenderness of heart our students have towards Jesus Christ as they extend His grace and peace and honor Him in the practice of righteous living.

Hello CU Caritas Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

Stanford students have begun their final exams, which end on Friday (or sooner for some). It’s a sprint to the finish! Then they’re off to a welcome three-week break over the Christmas holidays.

In our last Bible course, leading into this most challenging part of the quarter, we meditated on Philippians 3:7-11:

Dear CU Martus Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

As we enter the month of December, the students at CU Martus on the campus of Penn have been earnestly engaged in growing more in their gratitude of the gospel and focusing their intentions on flourishing Christ-centered friendships. Our weekly gatherings and outreach efforts have produced many good fruits in wisdom, devotion, kinship, and the transition of their hearts to mimic that of our Savior’s, Christ Jesus.
