Dear CU Nova Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

Greetings from Princeton!

In this monthly email, I'd love to share with you a recent article about how God is moving at Christian Union Nova to give you encouragement and inspiration that your support is changing lives at Princeton University.

Dear CU Nova Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

Greetings from Princeton!

This month, Christian Union Nova students and leaders are working around the clock to welcome freshmen to our campus and to our ministry! We recently hosted a pre-retreat to plan all the events and details of this month-long campaign and to grow in the Lord!

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 Nova Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

Spring is in the air, and the Holy Spirit is on the move at Princeton! We’ve just wrapped up our Bible courses for the year with seniors completing our “Vocational Prep” course, equipping them with a theology of work, money, and giving. Our juniors and sophomores completed our Romans course, delving into some of the richest theology of salvation in the Bible. And our freshman just finished our Sex and Spirituality Bible course, learning about God’s design for sexuality, marriage, and the family.

Our freshman men gathered together this week for a BBQ and firepit and reflected on their experiences this year at Princeton. Invariably, they answered that the best part about Princeton is the Christian community and the friends they’ve made in Christian Union!

Dear CU Nova Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

Greetings from Princeton! God is on the move here in Christian Union Nova and I’m excited to share with you some of the amazing things that are happening!

On March 1st, we welcomed local pastor Ian Graham, who gave a powerful message on the parable of the prodigal son. Many came forward at the end for prayer, as it touched the hearts of students. I think this was just what they needed before their midterms week and spring break.

Dear CU Nova Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

“We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints, because of the hope laid up for you in heaven.” - Colossians 1: 3-5!

God is using your prayers to help grow the ministry at CU Nova and develop future Christian leaders. Thank you!

CU Nova held a successful freshmen welcoming campaign and pre-retreat. With the semester now underway, our freshmen men’s Bible Course groups agreed to meet for a fellowship lunch every week and an hour of confession and prayer before BC, as well as commitments to times of fasting. Our women’s Bible Courses are also thriving under Qwynn’s leadership and the student leaders. We have over 40 freshmen enrolled in Bible Course this semester! I’m so blessed to see our students earnestly desire to seek the Lord and grow in their walk with him!

Dear CU Nova Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

Summer was full of exciting stories and opportunities for our students both at home and abroad. Meanwhile, Christian Union faculty have been preparing for the coming year. At the start of August, we gathered together for a week-long retreat of training and spiritual revitalization aptly titled Momentum. Now Fall has come, bringing blessings and challenges.

We’re excitedly preparing for our PreRetreat where we will join our student leaders for a time of refreshing in the Lord, deepening the bonds of community, and training for our Freshmen Welcoming Campaign! Our students will be challenged to reach out with the message of the gospel and to pursue friendships with as many incoming Freshmen as possible. Many Christian Freshmen simply don’t know that they need Christian community and don’t think to seek it out. This is why we must go to them! Our prayer is that no Christian student falls away and misses out on spiritual growth during their Princeton years - and that every student has an invitation to Christian community. We aim to be like the Good Shepherd, leaving the ninety-nine to seek out and find the one!
