Prayer Requests
CHRISTIAN UNION UNIVERSITY MINISTRIES
Please pray for Christian Union as it is seeking to add new ministry fellows to its ministry faculty, a vice president for the university side of the ministry, as well as several other key hires in the coming weeks.
CHRISTIAN UNION CITY MINISTRIES
Please pray for the 2016 graduates who are moving to New York and other major cities in June and July. The transition from college to the workplace — with faith intact — can be challenging. Pray these young men and women would connect quickly to Christian churches and communities, and experience mature Christian mentors. Pray they continue to grow in their understanding of how to integrate their faith and their work, and grasp how vital this is to their flourishing in life.
CHRISTIAN UNION DAY AND NIGHT
Please pray that God would continue to provide wisdom and insight now that the beta phase has ended. Pray for the relaunch later this year, that God would guide the planning and next steps.
