Union of Evangelical Students of India

Last time I wrote on ‘Giving priority to God’s work.’ In this issue, I would like to zero in on setting priorities to involve in a particular Christian ministry. Since UESI graduates and students are hard-pressed for time, involved in many ministries, this article will help them.

Prioritizing is a balancing act. Every diligent person has to do this everyday to optimize the resources for maximum output. It involves thoughtful and careful planning of spending resources especially the ones like time and energy.

Let me just brief you about the discussion which I and my EU mate had, about a week before the camp. "Man, it’ll be just another camp", "500 bucks is a huge amount, at least for hostellers", "Dude, how many times should we have to hear the same old stuff" and what not…! Good Lord knew that we were in for a mind-boggling surprise, no matter what our mindset might be! The major reasons were that two of our guys were going to miss the soccer practice with the college team, as the inter NIT sports fest in Jaipur was around the corner, and one, which was myself, was dumping my project mates at the final stages of the submission of our Business Plan at IIT, Delhi. So then, after many advices and with a heavy heart, we submitted ourselves to God’s perfect will and boarded the bus to Jammu, for "Discovering God" on the 15th February! And the rest, as they say, is history! .
