Prayer Requests
Praise God for a group of 18 freshman women at Dartmouth who applied to form a "learning community" at Dartmouth. They received acceptance to have a concentrated living area called "Women of Faith" for those who are spiritually interested and seeking. Pray that this housing arrangement will be a growth place for these women and a place of ministry to others.
Pray for students at Penn who have the opportunity to interact with, and minister to, many peers on their campus through participating in a prayer tent on campus. Pray for favor for those in attendance and that meaningful conversations would develop with students who are curious about spiritual things and who are in need of prayer.
Praise God with Christian Union's faculty and students involved at Harvard for their winter conference that was postponed until the spring. Continue to pray for growing community that was fostered over the weekend and for students who were challenged to think about repentence and confession in new ways.
