As the rhythms of studying and assignments crescendo at the end of the Spring Quarter, our students face the reality that freshmen year has been not just new friends and fun experiences—it’s also a lot of hard work! Through this, we are grateful for the incredible start the Lord has given us this inaugural year with Christian Union Caritas -- Christian Union's ministry to students at Stanford. Our original freshmen guys’ Bible Course is thriving and connecting deeper with one another and with God. Also this quarter, we have launched a women’s Bible Course led by Garrett’s wife, Susan. One of the benefits of being in start-up mode is the flexibility in our schedules to pursue each of our core students one-on-one. The Caritas team are encouraged by the depth of discussion and discipleship coming out of these meetings on a weekly basis.
Please join us in prayer for this season:
- Pray for our new freshmen and sophomore guys who have recently become connected to Christian Union. Pray for friendships to form easily and for them to draw nearer to God thorough their involvement with us.
- Pray for our new group of female students who have stepped into a new Bible Course this Spring Quarter. The majority of Stanford students—both men and women—live week to week without any interaction with the gospel or with others who are seeking God. We want these young women to be richly blessed in this.
- Pray for our student leadership as they continue seeking official recognition as a student organization and religious group. Pray for humility and success in our efforts in this process with the school administration.
- Pray for our plans and efforts this summer leading up to the Freshmen campaign in September.
- Pray for Garrett and Justin, our team, as they lead our students and shepherd their own families daily.
- Thank you for your partnership in this ministry through prayer!
We are incredibly grateful to have your partnership and prayers!
