UNIVERSITY MINISTRIES
Thanks for praying for our students through the last academic year. God blessed them in many ways, including 95 new believers involved in our university ministries. Please pray that the Lord will continue to develop these new believers in their faith and trust in Him. May these summer months be a time of spiritual growth and devotion for all our students, and especially for those new in their faith.

CITY MINISTRIES
As the university ministries wind down for the summer, this is actually a busy season for Christian Union Cities ministries. Please pray that the Christian Union ministries in New York City and Washington, DC, would be able to connect quickly with recent college graduates who are moving to these cities to begin their careers.
