What has happened to you and your 1:1 initiative on your way
here?
Is everything on schedule, or do you and your school feel behind?
Is funding fine, or is funding fuzzy?
Are you left to assemble the pieces…without directions?
Do you feel like certain agents are looking to sabotage your initiative?

I John 4:10 This is love! It is not that we loved God but that He loved us. For God sent His Son to pay for
our sins with His own blood.(New Life Version)
Acts 17:24-29 “The God who made the world and everything in it, this Master of sky and land,
doesn’t live in custom-made shrines or need the human race to run errands for him, as if he
couldn’t take care of himself…He doesn’t play hide-and-seek with us.
He’s not remote; he’s near. We live and move in him..”(The Message)

Don’t try to put God first. Through the power of the
Holy Spirit, seek to put God everywhere.“And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” Colossians 3:17
Don’t seek rituals. Seek a relationship.“Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the Lord? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.” I Samuel 15:22
Every relationship has seasons and stages.“Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children.” Ephesians 5:1
“You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.” John 15:14-15
