Prayer Requests
UNIVERSITY MINISTRIES
Please pray for our university ministries as returning student 'pre-retreats' begin to take place, and as new students are welcomed to campus. Pray that God would prepare and unite the returning student leaders, and that each university ministry would be diligent to reach out well to the incoming freshmen.
CITY MINISTRIES
Please join us in praying for the 2018 graduates of Christian Union University Ministries entering the workforce or graduate school to find new churches and spiritual communities, for mentors to guide and encourage them, and for growth in understanding their work and all of life through the lens of faith. We’re encouraged by, and praise God for, those in New York City and Washington, DC, to whom we’re able to minister.
DAY & NIGHT
Pray for a cultural revolution in our country. More than 2,000 Christians across the nation have joined Christian Union Day and Night to fast and pray for 21 days for this one reason — and it's not too late if you would still like to join. We are believing God’s promise that He gives more grace to those who humble themselves. Pray for God’s grace to wash over our nation, in the name of Jesus.
