Guidelines for Commissioning Day
On Commissioning Day, you
make a commitment before God in front of others. Here
are ideas for this very important day:
- If possible, be commissioned by a pastor at your church
in front of the congregation. Have a prayer partner stand
with you. The pastor should ask you the following questions:
- Will you pray for the unbelieving students in your
school?
- Will you carry out The 40-Day Challenge assignments
to the best of your ability?
- What will you fast that is a sacrifice to you?
- Who is praying for you? Every student needs an adult
prayer partner for encouragement and accountability.
We suggest weekly contact between you and your partner.
- After you answer these questions, the pastor can then pray
over you. Anointing oil may be used at this time as a symbol
of the presence and power of the Holy Spirit abiding in you.
- If you cannot be commissioned during the morning worship
service, then ask your pastor if you can be commissioned
during the evening service, a Sunday School class, or a youth
meeting.
- If a pastor isn't available, then have your parents or
another respected adult commission you.
Note: Make your commitment as public
as possible so you will be held accountable!
