This Week's Tip:

This is the final tip for this Spring school term. Hopefully we've given you enough tracks to run on to help you finish well and start strong in the fall. Here's a simple acrostic to summarize some important points and take you into the summer:

S Summer Survival Kit. Help your students prepare to be victorious this summer by keeping their spiritual lives on track with the Lord. http://godsquad.com/summer/index.htm

U Understand your position in Christ. Read Ephesians 1:1-14. Don't let the enemy defeat you this summer. Don't fall back in to old habit patterns. Understand all that Christ has done for you. http://bible.crosswalk.com/OnlineStudyBible/bible.cgi?new=1&word=Ephesians+1%3A1-14&section=0&version=niv&language=en

M Meet with other believers regularly. Church and a good fellowship group will be key to your survival this summer. We can't live the Christian life as lone rangers. We need the body of Christ to survive and to stay accountable otherwise it will be easy to slip up. You'll need to be proactive to find a good fellowship group. It may not be a perfect group of people but you need them regardless. http://www.godsquad.com/discipleship/making.htm

M Ministry for the Fall. Be sure to send out regular phone texts, email, twitter, or Facebook messages to help people prepare for the fall. This will be especially true in August as the time gets closer for school to start up. http://www.godsquad.com/leading/fallplan.htm

E Evangelism. Continue to share the gospel message with your friends, family and with those around you. You can have a significant eternal impact this summer as you share the gospel often. If you're taking summer classes, keep sharing the gospel through the summer on campus. http://www.godsquad.com/evangelism/bigsix.htm

R Rely on God always. Be sure that your devotional life and prayer times are vital, active and regular throughout the summer. Establish a regular reading pattern for getting into the Word of God. You will have to plan this out or it will not happen. http://www.godsquad.com/discipleship/quietime.html

If you do have questions throughout the summer don't hesitate to contact your staff coach. However, your staff coach could be overseas or on a summer project so they may not be able to respond right away but stay in touch.
