A Matter of Identity
By Eric Parker

Prayer Requests
UNIVERSITY MINISTRIES
As the school year winds down at most of the universities where Christian Union ministers, please pray for our ministry faculty as they move into the summer. Some will be traveling, some will continue to minister to students who are around for the summer, and many will be working on projects and focusing on professional development. Please pray that, whatever their assignment, they would enjoy some down time and be recharged physically, emotionally, and spiritually after a very busy school year.
CITY MINISTRIES
Please pray for continued preparations for the CU Cities conference, June 22-23, in NYC. Also please continue to pray that our 2018 graduates would transition well into professional life. We are lining up welcoming events in NYC and DC this summer for those who will be living and working there. Pray that the Lord draws a wonderful, strong community of young professionals together, and uses us to strengthen those in this important transition time.
DAY & NIGHT
Pray that the momentum gained through The Great Experiment would continue. We received testimonies of salvations, baptisms, bold witness, and Spirit-led obedience. Praise God and ask Him to make this fruit just the beginning of what He will do in our nation.
