Prayer Requests
CHRISTIAN UNION UNIVERSITY MINISTRIES
As Christian Union's University ministries have wound down for the summer, there are still Christian Union faculty members working with students who have stayed in their respective college towns for the summer. Please pray that God would make those times rich and fruitful.
CHRISTIAN UNION CITY MINISTRIES
The New York City Christian Union ministry is gearing up to welcome college graduates moving to New York who want to connect with like-minded believers. Pray that God would facilitate those meetings and that believers moving to the city would find meaningful communities.
CHRISTIAN UNION DAY AND NIGHT
Finally, please pray for Christian Union as a whole, as it is finalizing the budget for the next fiscal year (every gift helps before June 30) and working hard to interview and hire candidates for a number of key positions across the ministry.
