DEGREE STUDENTS

First things first. Develop a prayer support team!
one of your first steps is developing a prayer support team of three to six
people. Ask them to pray for wisdom as you adjust your life obligations in preparation for starting seminary. Keep these friends, family members,and church leaders updated on
your specific needs and concerns, and give them the blessing of rejoicing with you as
prayer is answered.
