8 Questions to Ask Before the End of the Semester

1.  What is it that you or your ministry did that made the most difference?
-What moved students toward life change?
-What gave you the biggest bang for the buck expense wise?

2.  What did you do that has had its day?
-It used to work or be of value, but things have changed and maybe you are doing it out of habit.
-Or, is it not a negative, but it just is not worth what it costs in terms of time or money.

3.  Are you making decisions based on what is rather than what was?
-Things change.  Campuses change.  The make-up of your student leadership changes.

4.  Are you playing to your personal strengths and the strengths of your ministry?
-Make sure you are getting the most out of what you ought to be getting the most from.

5.  Who is a student that needs to be given a second chance?
-We have all had students who let us down and did not do that they were capable of doing.
-Think back to first of the year.....even last year.  Extend an opportunity to them.
-Let them know you believe in them.....you never know.

6.  Who is someone who needs a special thank you for what they have done this school year?
-It may be a student who has functioned like a full time staffer and you need to say a big thanks or take them to lunch and acknowledge you know what they did and how much it mattered.
-Is there a donor who came through just at the time you thought the doors might close?
-Is there a pastor or someone who stood up for you when no one else was?
-Is there a school administrator, an administrative assistant, or a janitor that came through for you?

7.  Are you a friend to the whole campus?
-Are there people all over campus who know who you are and that you care?
-As the weather warms and people are more out and about, consider more where you might could be out and about.

8.  What is one thing you have always wanted to try?
-Have you always wanted to have your large group event somewhere different, at a different time or day?
-Is there an outreach event that might be risky but you have always wanted to see if just maybe....
-Considering a change for next semester?  Try it now to learn what needs to be tweaked....or abandoned!
