Missionaries on the CU campus Jeremiah 29

God speak this word that you gave Jeremiah to me and to CU IV!
Send us to be missionaries on the CU campus!

Jeremiah 29
These are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the surviving (... people of Israel in exile):

This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: “Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce. Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Increase in number there; do not decrease. Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.”

God what does it look like for me to enter back in as a part of CU in order to lead my students in their lives as college students in the culture of CU?

I think CU is an interesting place where students in IV somewhat feel like they are in exile in a strange culture but also they are chasing after dreams of success. 

God I pray that you would empower us to be missionaries on this CU campus. Give us eyes to see this place as our mission field. 
Give us hearts of love and compassion for those on campus. 
I pray that we would have hope that we might bless and renew the campus!

Boulder and CU are yours too God! And you love the people in this city and on this campus. Let us seek the welfare of this city! Let us pray for CU. God help us to leave a legacy here!
Amen
