Pray

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." Matthew 7:8, 9

When believers pray, God hears and responds.

Give

When you give to Christian Union, you help evangelize an unreached people group - the relatively small number of men and women whose leadership choices affect the daily lives of millions and who help to shape culture, from the economy, to entertainment, to the legal system.

Help develop men and women of wholehearted devotion to God, and help them to build relational and professional networks that will increase Christian cultural influence .

Advocate

You can share this mission and vision in a variety of helpful ways. Here are just a few ideas:

- Talk to Christian parents - Many Christian parents of students applying to college have well-founded concerns about their children attending these leading universities, known for their sometimes intense secularism. Talk to parents about the role Christian Union is playing to develop students into mature believers and effective culture changers.
- Inform high schools - Share with administrators, teachers and guidance counselors of Christian schools about the Christian leadership development ministries at these universities so they in turn can communicate with parents and students.

Discuss with friends and colleagues - Many believers are passionate about changing our culture and may be eager to learn more about Christian Union. Please tell them about the unique focus and approach of this ministry.

Refer Others

For culture to be transformed by the Gospel, thousands of believers must learn about and come alongside to support Christian Union’s strategic approach. Christian Union's primary way of communicating is through the free quarterly Christian Union Magazine and monthly prayer e-mails (recipients select which of the Christian Union university ministries they wish to hear from).

Those you refer do not need to be affliated with the eight universities where Christian Union operates. Your friend with a heart burdened to see culture change may be an exciting match for the mission of this ministry.

Send the address and/or e-mail address of those you think may be interested to receive these communications. Please include a first and last name.
