Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,

and my portion forever.

Prayer Requests
Students throughout Christian Union's ministry are developing a deeper understanding of the richness of the Gospel through their study of the book of Colossians. Praise God for students whose lives are being transformed by God's Word in these Bible courses.
Christian Union's ministry at Brown launched its new weekly leadership lecture series on campus this semester. Pray that God would continue to draw students to the meetings, and pray for the speakers who God will use to help develop students into Christian leaders. Please pray for the student leaders who serve in various capacities to execute this exciting new facet of the Brown ministry.
Pray for the ministry of Christian Union at Dartmouth, as it has seen a wonderful influx of students who are searching for truth. A number of non-believers have been attending Bible courses as they explore what it means to know and follow Christ. Please pray specifically that these students would commit their lives to Christ -- and pray that their believing friends would be a great resource for their questions.
