Dear Parents,

Hello again! We hope you had a wonderful time of Thanksgiving this past week. We’re on lesson 32 in The LIFE study this week. This week’s lesson was a really awesome time of fellowship and learning. I hope your teenager enjoyed it. This week, the lesson was entitled “The Motivation For Engaging With Our Surroundings,” and it focused on helping students know that through engaging with their surroundings, they would ultimately lead people to Christ. 

We looked at the following Scripture passages: 

• 1 Corinthians 9:19-23
  

You’ll enjoy reading these powerful passages that demonstrate God’s amazing plan to make us holy in His sight. 

Next Steps . . . 

During the week, look for ways to encourage your teenager as he or she reflects on what they are learning. Consider using some of these prompts to start the conversation. 

• This week your teenager talked about envisioning specific people in their lives who don’t have a saving relationship with Jesus and practically consider how they might engage with these people in order to draw them closer to Christ. Encourage your teenager to write down the names of people they are doing with this. Pray through these names together. Share with them the first names of the people you are sharing with. 
  
• Then ask, “What do you believe Paul meant by, ‘I have become all things to all people?’ What can we learn from this? What is this not saying to do?” (This week, your student learned about not compromising on convictions in reaching people.) 
  
• How important is the Gospel to you? How are you showing your friends it is your top priority? 

Thank you for all you do. If you have any questions about anything.
