Prayer Requests
UNIVERSITY CHRISTIAN UNION
Columbia, Dartmouth, Penn, Princeton, and Yale students involved in Christian Union's ministries have all attended their respective schools' winter conferences. Praise the Lord for His presence that went before them, ministered to the students, and spoke through the speakers. God has been glorified through their times of seeking Him and growing in community.
Three Cornell students who are involved in the ministry of Christian Union have had articles published in the first edition of Cornell's new Christian journal called, "Claritas." Please pray for the impact this journal may have for Christ on campus.
Please pray for a continued and growing urgency to seek God, His Word, and the movement of His Spirit among students involved in Christian Union ministries. God has been at work, but please pray for that to continue—and expand.
CITY CHRISTIAN UNION
Praise God for a great monthly forum hosted by New York City Christian Union in January. At the forum, Dr. Robert Wilkin spoke on spiritual freedom. Continue to pray for Christian Union's ministry in New York City, as it grows and many have the opportunity to develop in their relationship with God as they seek Him.
CHRISTIAN UNION DAY AND NIGHT
Christian Union has begun a twice-daily video devotional called Christian Union Day and Night (please see above). Praise the Lord for His movement across the nation and the world as many are encouraged to seek the Lord at set times each day, particularly morning and evening. Please pray for this new initiative, and that the Lord would be glorified and answer the prayers of many who seek Him diligently.
