Prayer Requests
UNIVERSITY MINISTRIES
Please pray that many students from Christian Union ministries would attend the Nexus 2017 conference for students, and that God would work powerfully in those students' lives. This conference — which is held in parallel with the Nexus Professionals Conference — will be held April 7-9, in Stamford, CT.
CITY MINISTRIES
