Dear CU Vita Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

Greetings from Ithaca and the CU Vita ministry. We are thankful for your partnership and prayers. As we enter the final stretch of the spring semester, we are looking back with gratitude for what God has been doing in our midst these recent weeks.

Dear CU Vox Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

Hello from Hanover and greetings from CU Vox. We are midway through spring term and rapidly approaching graduation. We have much in front of us in the life of this ministry and are excited about what God is doing on campus. A few brief highlights from the past month are: a successful and enjoyable student retreat, the new student executive team is settled in and thriving, and attendance in Bible courses is up. All of this wonderful gospel work is only possible because of God’s faithfulness, the efforts of the students, and your prayerful support.

Dear CU Gloria Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

Nostalgia: a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations.

Greetings from Cambridge!

I have had the privilege of watching a lot of senior skits through the years, but the underclassmen who impersonated their beloved senior friends the other day were truly next level. In several scenes and for fifteen minutes their silly lines and exaggerated gestures wonderfully captured each person’s personalities and idiosyncrasies.

Dear CU Vox Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

“This is my Father’s world and to my listening ears, all nature sings and round me rings, the music of the spheres.” It is the spring term here at Dartmouth. If you’ve ever been to Hanover in April it doesn’t mean warm temperatures or even the end of snow, but it does represent newness and rebirth.

Dear CU Libertas Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

Greetings from Christian Union Libertas! We are so thankful for partners like you that support the work here at Brown. We have seen the Lord at work here on campus—lives are being changed as students come to know the deep, glorious love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Dear CU Lumine Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

Greetings from Christian Union Lumine at Columbia! We praise God for partners like you in supporting the work He is doing through this ministry.

We have about four weeks of the spring semester remaining before we enter finals time. Pray for the students as they come to the end of their semester and start mapping out their internships and summer plans.

Dear CU Vita Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

This month I am writing to ask for your prayers — and your attendance — at a special event: “God at Work: Revival Then and Now” on April 23.

The Christian Union Vita Cornerstone Board, made up of Cornell alumni from the classes of 1972 through 2020, has planned a great morning featuring a robust panel of alumni and others who were part of the Jesus Movement here in the 1970s. The event will include teaching on revival, prayer, worship, and a chance for alumni and current students to connect. It should be a powerful morning to remember how God moved here during that time and to pray that revival might come again at Cornell and beyond.

“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

Dear CU Gloria Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

Greetings from Cambridge!

The pace has quickened as we have crossed the marker into April and lean into the final lap. What an unusual and challenging race! When we gathered in the fall, only the senior class had logged more than one (normal) semester on campus. Student leaders, recognizing the need to gather and build a community, majored in hospitality and friendship. They prayed to reclaim what was lost. They believed God for growth – depth and breadth. They were determined to make the most of the time (Eph. 5:15-17).

I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty, and on Your wondrous works. Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts, and I will declare Your greatness. They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness, and shall sing of Your righteousness. Psalm 145:5-7
Dear CU Nova Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

Spring has launched and we’ve been on a rollercoaster of God’s goodness!

Hello CU Caritas Cornerstone Partners and friends of the ministry,

I have great news: Christian Union Caritas was officially recognized as a student group by Stanford at the end of March! Many students over the years have worked toward and eagerly anticipated this milestone. We thank God for their labors and prayers, and for His gracious provision! We are also grateful to the leadership in Stanford’s Office of Student Engagement and Office of Religious and Spiritual Life for partnering with Christian Union in this way. Recognition will afford Christian Union students many privileges and responsibilities that we have not had to this point, such as the ability to table at activities fairs, advertise Christian Union in official Stanford communications, access a wider array of meeting spaces, and more. As Christian Union students reach out to incoming freshmen during the beginning of the year, they are hoping that recognition will provide a significant boost to their efforts. Please thank God along with us!
