You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
— Matthew 5:14-16

Prayer Requests
Students at Cornell will hold a "Love looks like..." campaign May 3-9. The heart of the campaign is to demonstrate, on campus, what Christ-like love looks like. Please pray that God would use this campaign to touch the lives of many at Cornell.
Praise the Lord for an extended prayer time led by students involved in Christian Union's ministry at Yale. They initiated a 24-hour prayer event, where students had the opportunity to spend more focused time in prayer. Praise God for the fervor of those seeking His face, and please pray that this sort of passion for prayer would continue to grow not only at Yale, but at each of the universities where Christian Union works.
Please pray for students about to transition from the university to the marketplace—that they will quickly find spiritual community, local churches and ways to integrate their faith and work. Please pray in particular for those moving to New York City, that NYCU (Christian Union's ministry to marketplace professionals in NYC) would be able to connect with these students.
