Autumn is upon us in New York City!
Christian Union New York is a hive of activity, as young professionals who graduated this spring have officially moved to New York City to start their new careers.
Regular dinners are happening at Christian Union New York to gather rising Christian leaders for encouragement and spiritual strengthening. We are enjoying meeting new brothers- and sisters-in-Christ for the first time, finding profound things in common that serve to unite us far greater than anything the world can offer.

Dear CU Gloria Law Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
Greetings from Harvard Law School!
If you’ve ever visited Harvard, any time during the year, you can go on a guided tour of the campus led at times by current students. One of the stops on the tour is the famous “John Harvard” statue in Harvard Yard. The question is then asked if anyone knows the “3 LIES” of the John Harvard statue with the inscription of “Founder” and the date 1638. This was highlighted in a well known scene in the film, The Social Network, when some men were being tested on this very question in the dead of winter. The three lies that they are referring to are these:

Dear CU Gloria Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
Greetings from Cambridge!
September always brings with it a frenetic energy, especially around Harvard Square. Students return in the late weeks of August to reconnect with one another and begin to welcome the new class. Labor Day Weekend is packed with events that lead into the start of a new academic year and a new semester. We at CU Gloria are always so excited and expectant at this time of year, with the many hours spent planning to welcome students back over the summer converting back into the fast-paced schedule of the semester. We believe that God wants to move at Harvard among our students this year, and we are setting ourselves as watchmen to guard and await His move!

Dear CU Martus Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
Greetings from Penn! We've been working around the clock to welcome freshmen to Penn and to find a strong, loving Christian community at Christian Union Martus! One outreach event we recently held was a trip to Citizens Bank Park to see a Phillies game. We had a blast!

Dear CU Gloria Law Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
“And should I not pity Nineveh, that great city...” - Jonah 4:11.
You know Jonah, right? It’s the little, little book between Obadiah and Micah, that chronicles a chapter in the life of a very reluctant prophet by the same name. When you think about the story, it doesn’t reflect well upon its supposed author. But those short four chapters hold great insight into so many great themes: the character of God, justice and mercy, missions, calling, and so on.

Dear CU Gloria Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
The last month at Harvard College has brought many changes, though not any changes that are out of the ordinary. As we send out the seniors that have shaped ministry at Christian Union Gloria for the past four years, daily life slows down and we are able to reflect on the last year and begin to plan for the next. It is truly a privilege to partner with students at Harvard as they navigate college life and to continue with them through young adulthood. As this is my first full academic year on faculty, I am especially grateful for the ways Christian Union works to not only raise up Christians who lead well, but also to continue connecting them and pouring into them even after they graduate.

Dear CU Martus Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

Dear CU Caritas Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
In a season when so many individuals attending influential universities across America are experiencing chaos and division, God is using CU to powerfully unite and impact the lives of our students. It's truly inspiring to witness these future leaders faithfully pray, fast, and grow in their faith through diligent study of God's word.
We can see God moving in a mighty way, as we continue to cry out for revival. Recently, we partnered with other ministries to present “ONE," a night of exalting the Lord in unity through prayer and worship. Remarkably, over 200 students joined us at Meyer Green, as praise and prayers filled the air in the heart of Stanford’s campus. The evening concluded with students making life-changing decisions to give their lives to Christ!

Dear CU Lumine Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
The 2023-2024 academic year has come to an end at Columbia University, and Christian Union Lumine has been blessed by all that God has done on campus through the ministry. Most of our students have either gone home, traveled across the country for internships, or traveled abroad during the summer.
We have seen our student leaders do amazing work during the semester with weekly outreach initiatives to reach their peers with the gospel. They have encouraged the community of believers to fast, pray, and seek God for revival on their campus.

Dear CU Libertas Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
Greetings from Providence!
As the stillness of the summer begins on campus, I am praising the Lord that although our leaders are spread out in different areas across the country this summer, several of them are currently completing internships in Washington, DC. It’s amazing how the Lord has strategically kept our transformative leaders connected, even away from campus life. Knowing that several of them would be together, they planned ahead to connect with each other through meal times, prayers, and devotionals. Amaya Allen (Vice President) and Giselle Gonzalez (Campus Kindness leader) met up in DC and spent time with one another. I give glory to the Lord that He keeps these important bonds strengthened through the love and power of His Holy Spirit.
