Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. — Romans 5:1-2

The Distinctive Call to Make Disciples
By Rebekah Hannah
From Christian Union: The Magazine
We are all disciples of someone. Whether good or bad, we all emulate someone who came before us. That being said, we also have more influence than we could possibly imagine. With each conversation and encounter, we are shaping others… the best part of being a disciple-maker in Christ is that we are not trying to get people to be like us. As a disciple-maker I am pointing women to something and someone greater than myself....

Farewell, Cultural Christianity
By Russell D. Moore
From Leadership Journal
As American culture changes all around us, Russell D. Moore argues that it is no longer possible for Christians to pretend that they are in the majority. In his new book Onward: Engaging the Culture without Losing the Gospel, Moore argues that "what's needed now, in shifting times, is neither a doubling-down on the status quo nor a pullback into isolation. Instead, we need a church that speaks to social and political issues with a bigger vision in mind: that of the gospel of Jesus Christ."

Prayer Requests
Praise the Lord for the completion of another school year for all eight of the universities where Christian Union works. Join us in giving God the glory for the mighty things He has done in and through students involved in Christian Union's ministries. Continue to pray for the movement of the Holy Spirit across these university campuses and in students' lives during the summer.
Summer offers a much needed season of refreshment and rejuvenation for Christian Union faculty members. Please pray for the Lord to meet the needs of weary faculty, that they may be spiritually nourished, mentally restored and physically rested after a busy academic year. Pray that they would experience the strength that comes from the Lord and be reminded that their ministry is ultimately His.
Christian Union students are spending their summers all over the globe. Pray that they would have an influence that would outlive their stay. One rising sophomore from Princeton is spending her summer in Malaysia. Pray for her as she shares with her co-workers about how her faith relates to the work she is participating in. She shared with her 80 year-old co-worker and he expressed an interest in what she shared. Please pray for boldness in leadership and speaking words of truth for students in their summer opportunities.
