I&#8217;m so excited to serve as co-president this upcoming year. My husband, Christian, and I have been involved in CU since our first year of college, and we both experienced enormous spiritual growth thanks to the mentorship of CU&#8217;s ministry fellows. Throughout the many seasons of life, my favorite verse has been in John 6, when Peter turns to Jesus and says &#8220;To whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, and we have believed and come to know that You are the Holy One of God.&#8221; My prayer for HLS is that we would know and experience the goodness of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love getting coffee with new friends, so please reach out if you have any questions about HLS or CU!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><strong>Isabel Espinosa-Schatz, JD &#8217;23 &#8211; Co-President&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mission Statement<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Christian Union at Harvard Law School is a community of students and their families who love Jesus and desire to express that love with the community at HLS. &nbsp;As a student organization, &nbsp;we seek to study the Bible rigorously, pray for revival relentlessly and see God powerfully change lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to learn more about Christian Union, please visit their website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.christianunion.org\/glorialaw\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2021-2022 &nbsp;Leadership Team<br>\n<\/strong>Co-Presidents:<br>\n&#8211; Jon DeWitt, JD &#8217;22 (<a href=\"mailto:jdewitt@jd22.law.harvard.edu\">jdewitt@jd22.law.harvard.edu<\/a>)<br>\n&#8211; Isabel Espinosa-Schatz, JD &#8217;23 (<a href=\"mailto:iespinosamoguel@jd23.law.harvard.edu\">iespinosamoguel@jd23.law.harvard.edu<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<p><strong>Campus Staff<\/strong><br>\nJustin Yim, Ministry Director with Christian Union Gloria Law, <a href=\"mailto:justin.yim@christianunion.org\">justin.yim@christianunion.org<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For the latest updates on events, gatherings, and opportunities, subscribe below or <a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/gjxU9f\">here<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the Christian Union Community!
