Christian Union Universities
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 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.

Dear CU Vox Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
“Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” -Matthew 18:19-20 ESV
When Jesus says that he’ll be among us, he really means it! God fulfills his promises. And in accordance with our united prayers, he has been so present at Dartmouth this past term. From hosting our evangelistic event for the whole campus (thank you for your prayers!) to providing personal ministry for over 30 students, we’ve seen God move. The level of fervor in Christian Union Vox’s students this spring has been extraordinary! From prayer meetings lasting until 2am to 10-day fasts to spontaneously worshiping the Lord together, God is on the move at Dartmouth! And it comes because God fulfills his word: when we seek him together, he shows up!

Dear CU Nova Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
Our students began the month of May by taking their last finals and heading out for their summer plans. Many are pursuing internships, and some are working and studying around the world. Just this past week, I was able to connect one of our current students who is working in Japan this summer with an alumnus from our ministry who lives and works in Tokyo! What a blessing to have such an incredible alumni network at Princeton and through CU Nova.
At the end of the year, many students shared testimonies with us about their experience in our Bible courses. One student remarked, “I think my involvement in CU Bible Course has been the most impactful and beneficial thing to my spiritual walk.” Another said, “This community has given me my favorite memories of Princeton.” It’s amazing to see our students grow in love for the Lord and for each other throughout the year as they engage with CU Nova.

Dear CU Vita Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
The 2023-2024 academic year has come to a close here at Cornell University, and Christian Union Vita has been blessed to see the Lord work in so many ways!
It’s hard to believe how fast this year has gone! Our student leaders did incredible work all year long in reaching out to students and welcoming them in, helping students to find both a warm Christian community and a place where they could be challenged to grow into the Christian leaders God has called each of them to be. While several of our current leaders have graduated and are moving on, I am excited to say that the next academic year’s group of student leaders are already taking charge and implementing plans to begin reaching out to incoming students over the summer. These students are laying the groundwork to make sure Christian Union Vita hits the ground running when the semester starts this August!

Dear CU Libertas Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
-Lamentations 3:22-23
As this year comes to a close, I am reflecting on the steadfast faithfulness of our God. He has exceeded our expectations and answered many of your prayers. I remember in September, asking for prayer for full, vibrant Bible courses. This year, we have had an abundant overflow of students participating in weekly Bible courses. The students love the Bible course manuals which provide rich, in-depth studies of each lesson. In addition to full Bible courses, we prayed for gospel exposures and the name of Jesus to saturate the entire campus of Brown University. Starting with freshman campaign, where we had a string of events all throughout September to welcome students, as well as worship events on campus, tabling and handing out books and scripture tracts, and our latest campaign, CU Rise, we have had an incredible amount of gospel exposures! This year, we have had more students dive into questions about Christianity than I have ever seen in years past. It is evidence that the Lord of the harvest is on the move on our campus!

Dear CU Lumine Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
It’s been an amazing month of ministry here at Christian Union Lumine on the campus of Columbia University. To witness how the Lord has been working in the lives of our students and using them to impact the campus for the Kingdom has been a blessing.
We continue to see our students really be committed to being intentional and deliberate in seeking God in prayer and fasting. During the month, ten football players from our Bible course attended our Monday night seek prayer meeting. We’ve continued to see more students getting involved in our Bible course during the middle of the semester. We are continuing to hold leadership training, workshops, and events for our students during these tumultuous times.
