Each class leaves a distinctive impression during their year at Word of Life. This class is no exception. I want to commend you for your hard work and faithful service to the Lord. However, a good start, while it is important, does not the race complete. The whole world lies before us. This is a task that we all must consider. Fifty years from now I hope that you will be re membered as a class that finished as well as it started. Re member the words of the Apostle Paul, “Therefore, my beloved, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toils are not in vain in the Lord.” (1 Cor 15:58).

Over the course of this last year, you have had the op portunity to “Catch the Spirit” of what it means to be a WORD OF LIFE student. Every part of your year has been designed to help you to understand what it means to have a closer, more intimate relationship with Christ. Now, the work really begins! Wherever God should lead, you have a choice; be an influencer or be influenced. My challenge to you is to not just, “ Go ye into all the World,” but GO AND INFLUENCE OTHERS for the cause and glory of Jesus Christ! Brian Headdings Associate Dean
When Pompeii was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, there were many people buried in the ruins. Some were found in cellars, as if they had gone there for security. Some were found in the upper rooms of buildings. But where was the Roman sentinel found? Standing at the city gate where he had been placed by the captain, with his hands still grasping his weapon. There, while the earth shook beneath him; there, while the floods of ashes and cinders covered him, he stood at his post. And there, after a thousand years, was this faithful man still to be found. Indeed what a challenge to us, if our world were to shake beneath us, through calamity, fears, trials and temptations, would we remain faithful? After all is said and done it is faithfulness that God requires of His stewards (1 Corinthians 4:2). We trust that this year of study at Word of Life has helped to equip you to be that faithful steward. I wish you God’s best. Joe Schenke Dean of Students 1 Corinthians 15:58
