“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.”
—2 Peter 3:18
I’ve heard a sampling of graduation speeches over the years, and I’ll confess that most of those were at homeschool graduations around the time my kids were finishing school. Many of them seemed to revolve around the amazing things these students would go on to do. I am sure our graduates in Nicaragua will also do great things, and we should encourage these graduates toward boldness and hope.
But, rather than the hope that they achieve some sort of worldly measure of success, my prayer is that their hearts would be captured by the grace of the Lord Jesus and that the great things they do would be fueled by that grace. Join me in praying for our graduates and thanking the Lord for all those who partner with WEGO in gospel ministry in Nicaragua.
YOUR GRADUATES!
FROM ANA SOFIA LÓPEZ GONZÁLEZ
One of my dreams and goals is to become a professional and help my family so we can keep moving forward. I also want to have enough money to help people who truly need it. I want to get a degree in foreign languages. I want to be a translator. And later, if God allows it, I’d also like to study psychology. I really love it. Although the truth is I’ve always wanted to study medicine to take care of people, but I don’t have enough resources to study it at a private university.
HOW YOU CAN PRAY FOR ANA
1) For my spiritual life – I need to return to my first love (Jesus).
2) For my family.
3) To improve my relationship with my dad.
