Prayer Requests


UNIVERSITY  MINISTRIES
Pray that the Lord would be at work in powerful ways on the campuses where Christian Union serves. Pray for revival and that the hearts of students would be transformed by the love of Christ.

CITY MINISTRIES
Please pray with us for our incoming 2020 alumni. We are so excited to welcome them to NYC and fold them into Christian Union’s ministry. Pray that the Lord would firmly establish them in a spiritual home and Christian community. As CU New York pairs new alumni with older alumni as mentors, pray for excellent matches and deep fellowship to emerge from them.

DAY & NIGHT

Ask the Father to pour out a spirit of prayer and repentance on His people. Pray for the daily devotionals that CU Day and Night is sending each day of Seeking God in September. May the Holy Spirit use them to draw us nearer to Him.
