A Note from Matt Bennett

as christian union develops connects Christian leaders, the goal is to develop a nationwide spiritual vibrancy that permeates every corner of society. Our desire is that those who have significant leadership roles across the United States would be people who are seeking God with humility and perseverance. Our prayer is that these men and women would bring the gospel—and a Christian worldview—to bear in every field and industry. Across America, this sort of sustained vibrancy will rise as God’s people are seeking Him wholeheartedly.

This past spring, thirteen Christian Union faculty and staff traveled across the globe to visit Fiji. We were able to witness first-hand how God is moving and transforming lives, communities, villages, and even the land itself. We saw the powerful synergy that happens when leaders humble themselves and their people repent and obey whatever the Lord asks of them. Seeking God, repentance, and obedience were principles that I found to be compelling in Fiji. Each applies to our ministry contexts in the United States.

In 2018-19, Christian Union continued to pursue revival and national transformation through its Universities, Cities, and Day & Night ministries.

The majority of the organization’s staffing and funding was directed towards shaping emerging leaders at key universities for godliness and godly influence. Christian Union Cities provided resources tailored to professionals in New York City. Christian Union Day and Night’s work to promote national revival continued to grow. Its online presence engaged thousands of believers across America, challenging them to seek God on behalf of this nation. We see in Scripture and in the extraordinary revivals of this nation’s history that when people turn to God, the Lord responds in power.

There are days, though, when revival and social reformation may seem far off. My friend, Baroness Caroline Cox, speaking at our Nexus student conference on the grave injustices she has witnessed around the world, declared: “I cannot do everything. I must not do nothing.” The support you have provided Christian Union is rolling back darkness and unbelief. You have done more than just something, you have helped to change the course of the future of the nation!

Thank you for allowing Him to use you in this way for His glory.
