Dear CU Vita Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
Greetings from Ithaca! The spring semester is getting underway this week. Our students are once again enduring the realities and restrictions of life with Covid. Group gatherings are currently discouraged and while students are on campus, all classes at Cornell are being taken remotely for the first two weeks of the semester. We are, however, hopeful that things will open up soon. We have been holding weekly CU Vita student leadership meetings via Zoom for the past two weeks, and we will meet again this coming Thursday night. We have been reconnecting and praying together, and fine-tuning our plans for the semester ahead, some of which I will describe in the following prayer requests.

Dear CU Vox Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
Hello from Hanover! As many of you know, the Dartmouth academic calendar is different than most schools. Winter term classes began on January 4th so we are well underway with life and ministry. The start of a new year and a new term always bring renewed energy and enthusiasm. It’s always a delight to have the campus filled with students and bursting with activity. The rhythms of Bible courses, daily prayer, social events, Leadership Lecture Series, and one-on-one mentorship are well established and are serving to challenge and encourage the students this term. Join me in praying for these items:

Dear CU Nova Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
Happy New Year! We pray for the peace of Christ to anchor you and your family in living hope with abundant joy as we begin 2022!
With a new year upon us, let us focus our hearts on the greatest sacrifice ever made! “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son” (John 3:16)—what a sacrifice! Together, we rejoice because “He who knew no sin became sin so that we might be the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus” (2 Corinthians 5:21)—oh, what a sacrifice! We unite to praise the Lord because He has “borne our griefs and carried our sorrows” (Isaiah 53:4)—selah, for the sacrifice. We can bless the name of Jesus because He loved us and has given Himself as an offering and a sacrifice (Ephesians 5:1-2)!

Hello CU Caritas Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
Happy New Year from Palo Alto!
George Muller, the 19th century’s famous father of orphans and giant in prayer, wrote some profound words about the importance of our happiness in God and the role of God’s word in that pursuit. I can think of few more helpful ideas to commend to you in this new year! Muller writes,

Dear CU Martus Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
"And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. And the angel said to them, ‘Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.’" (Luke 2:8-10 ESV)

Dear Cornerstone Partners and friends of CU Lux,
Who is God? A three-word question seeking an answer at Yale. God is more wonderful than our words can express. He is always better than we can imagine, infinitely more than we can grasp. His majesty and glory are greater than our imagination. But God becomes Emmanuel: God with us, God with the world, God with Yale. To relate to us and for us to relate to him, he makes himself known in conversation. The conversation reaches a climax when the Word becomes flesh (John 1), and we at CU Lux have seen his glory.

Dear CU Vox Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. What an immensely comforting truth that is. That in the world of uncertainty we can rest on God’s unchangeable character. He is never caught unaware or unprepared and, in spite of how it looks to us, He is still ruling, reigning, and engaged in the lives of humans. As we enter into a new calendar year and a new academic term, my hope is to see Dartmouth students resting in our immutable God and calling people to a relationship with Him.

The middle watch is past! Another year Dawns on the human race with hope and fear: The last has gone with mingled sigh and song, To join for ever its ancestral throng; And time reveals, As past it steals, The potent hand of God, the Everlasting, Guiding the sun, with all his blazing peers, And filling up the measure of our years, Until Messiah, Prince, to judgment hasting, Shall roll the darkness from this world of sin, And bid a bright eternity begin. — Unknown
