The past few weeks have been packed with events to welcome in the freshmen class of 2021. Our upperclassmen “freshmen gatherers” have done a fantastic job inviting and bringing freshmen (’21s) to our events and encouraging them to get involved in a Bible course. We are pleased with the number of '21s who are looking for Christian community and desire to be in a Bible course. We hit the ground running with Bible courses this week, jumping right into Philippians for our quick 8-week term.
Please join us in prayer for the following things:
- Pray for the '21s’ men’s Bible course to fill out. They typically take longer than the women’s courses to grow and we long to see them quickly develop a sense of brotherhood within their BCs.
- Pray for the '21s who have joined a Bible course and who are not Christians. Pray for two women. One is genuinely interested in learning about Christianity and the Bible, but does not yet follow Christ. Another is Buddhist, but was so impressed by the friendliness of CU and likes what Christianity has to say, so she asked if she could join a Bible course.
- Pray for physical and spiritual strength, health and rest for the staff as we are pouring into the '21s while also preparing for Bible courses and caring for our other students as well.
- Pray for our recognition process. We are anxious to move forward and have this finalized. Please pray for favor and understanding from those with whom we’re trying to partner.
Thank you for your prayers,
