Praying for a Million
Posted August 28, 2008
PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY - Recognizing that it is only God who can bring about spiritual change, Christian Union recently launched a campaign to solicit 1,000,000 minutes of prayer for the Ivy League during the 2008-2009 school year. Ministry Fellow Quincy Watkins, who leads the prayer initiative, reminds alumni, friends, and students that “the Ivy League can be extremely hostile to morality and faith in Christ. Our students and campuses really need our prayers. Together, we can launch a deluge of penetrating prayers for a sweeping transformation of the Ivy League.” To join the prayer effort and receive regular prayer updates, go to Prayer for the Ivy League.

Cavanaugh is preparing for his final football season with his priorities in the right order

From the Sidelines to the Frontlines of Faith

By Eileen Scott, Senior Writer for the Ivy League Christian Observer
HANOVER, NEW HAMPSHIRE - Four years ago, Kyle Cavanaugh came to Dartmouth ready to study economics and play two varsity sports. It wasn’t easy balancing two sports and academics, and it was not without a price. “I still read the Bible and tried to be a good person,” Cavanaugh said, but “faith took a back seat.” An ankle injury his sophomore year and surgery as a junior kept Cavanaugh from completing the football season and led him to give up playing baseball. Instead of becoming embittered by the injury, he became empowered. “It was something that was necessary for me because I was so focused on sports,” Cavanaugh said. “That’s where my commitment and time and energy went. The injuries brought me back down to earth and drew me closer to God.”
