LAUNCHING OUT Christian Union Ministries at Columbia, Dartmouth Are off to Great Start Posted January 26, 2012 By Catherine Elvy, Staff Writer for The Ivy League Christian Observer
Columbia students worship during a Christian Union Bible Course during the fall
semester.
Students involved with the
Christian Union’s newest leadership
development ministries
say they are part of divine appointments
to spark revival at Columbia and Dartmouth
universities.
Freshman Ian Chaffin was praying for
Christian friends and for a powerful spiritual
outpouring at Dartmouth College
before his arrival on campus this fall.
“There were 50 other freshmen praying,
as well,” said Chaffin of Sacramento,
California. “All of that prayer sort of culminated
into where we are.”
Students and staffers alike were
amazed at the results the Christian
Union’s new ministry at Dartmouth experienced
in its inaugural semester. Some
25 men participated in three Bible
Courses led by Kevin Collins, ministry director,
and 17 women were members of
two courses led by Caroline Rausch, ministry
fellow. Click Here For Full Story

For where two or three gather
in my name, there am I with
them. —Matthew 18:20
Students and ministry staff at Yale covered
the campus in prayer in the fall semester

spiritual atmosphere and reap a mighty
harvest.

intercession spurred Adam Verreault ’12
and Spencer Alexander ’14 to hold weekly
prayer meetings on Friday evenings. Approximately
20 undergraduates, graduate
students, and campus ministry staff
members attend each week. Click Here for Full Story
