Christian Unions Ireland
The prayer points for this week.


8th -14th January
This is the season where we begin to see new leaders get chosen ahead of the next CU year. This will
happen in time for EQUIP Leaders, CUI’s weekend to serve and equip students for their year of CU
leadership.
We want to see students who faithfully love the Lord, have a desire to learn from others and are
teachable, with an availability to serve their campuses. Pray that the larger CUs will be able to
discern wisely and that smaller CUs will see leaders step up to take on leadership.
