Do you have any friends graduating?

Hello friends, The seniors in your ministry will be graduating in just a couple months. Please do what you can to honor and encourage those who are graduating. Here are a few questions that you can pass along to them (or look over yourself if you are a Jr or Sr.) to help them finish well on campus and prepare for life post college:


How can you graduate as a Christ-centered laborer?
God has given us time, money, talents and abilities. How will we use and invest His gifts to us?

Some related parables and scripture to read and reflect on:
The parable of the talents Matthew 25:14-30
The parable contrasting the two managers Luke 12:35-48
Counting the cost Luke 14:28-33

Please read Matt 28:18-20: "Then Jesus came to them and said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.'"

As you graduate and move into the next phase of life, what are some ways you can contribute to helping to fulfill the great commission?

What do you want to do after graduation?

Why do you want to serve in this vocation?

What are some ways you can potentially share your faith in your future work environment?

How can you use your vocation to help demonstrate the love of Christ? How can you have a positive influence in our culture, potentially helping encourage the openness of others to the gospel?

What are some specific things you would like to do to express God's love and have a positive impact?

When and how do you think you may be able to do this?


Please take a few minutes to consider these questions and/or pass them along to juniors and seniors involved in the ministry on your campus.
