Please note: if you would like to receive regular updates on how to pray for Christian Union's work at Princeton, please email prayer@christianunion.org.Dear Friends and Partners in Christ,
The Princeton Christian Union ministry team can hardly believe how quickly the summer has been going by. In just a few short weeks, students will return to campus for another intense year of studies, and another impassioned year of seeking God! It has been exciting for us to look ahead in prayerful expectation to the powerful ways that He will move across this campus and in the lives of many students.
While we are prayerfully looking ahead to the fall, we are also focusing on many opportunities that we have before us to connect with and minister to students over the summer.
Firstly, we will be reaching out to the incoming freshmen who are a part of the Freshmen Scholars Institute (FSI). FSI is a seven-week program offered by the university to students who want to get a jump-start in their course work. Please pray that we are able to form many connections during this time with students through meetings with them and social events that we will be hosting.
Secondly, upperclassmen in the ministry are beginning to connect with incoming freshmen through Facebook as a way to welcome them to the university and to inform them of the wonderful opportunities available in and through the Christian community. Please pray that God moves in the hearts of the students and that they find comfort in the invites extended to them.
Alongside of the incoming freshmen, Christian Union at Princeton has three incoming female ministry fellows! Lisa Jeffrey, Vivianne Castillo, and Qwynn Gross just joined the team, and have been going through training materials to prepare them for the year ahead. Please pray that during this time of transition they feel at home in Princeton and find peace, joy, and rest in God's calling for them.
Thank you so much for your wonderful prayers and for your ongoing support of our ministry. We look forward to sharing with you many stories of God's faithfulness.
