Prayer Requests
Please pray for students and the community at Yale in light of recent tumult regarding race and identity on campus. Pray for humility and healthy dialogue for all involved, and for opportunities for Christian students to reflect Christ and to lead others toward Him.
Praise God for students at Princeton, Penn, Dartmouth, and Cornell who have recently stepped up in their efforts to share the Gospel with their peers. Many more students are hearing the Good News and have been softened to the truths presented to them. Continue to pray for boldness among the students, and for the leaders to continue to live out their faith winsomely.
Praise God for His work through Christian Union's ministry faculty in the lives of student athletes at Columbia. Pray particularly for changed lives on the football and women's basketball team.
