A BRIGHTER FUTURE DAWNS: OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE CHRISTIAN GRADUATE
Alexander Asomba
As a recent graduate, I stand at the threshold of an exciting era. The year is 1879, and Thomas Edison’s incandescent light bulb has sparked a revolution. It’s a powerful symbol of progress, banishing the darkness and illuminating new possibilities.
This sense of illumination extends beyond the physical. Our Christian education has equipped us with knowledge, compassion, and a strong moral foundation. These values, coupled with the innovative spirit of the times, position us to be agents of positive change in a world facing many challenges. Poverty, injustice, and ignorance still hold sway in many places. However, with a renewed spirit of Christ-like service, we have the power to make a difference.
OPPORTUNITIES AWAIT:
Spreading the Faith: Advancements in communication open doors to share the message of Christianity with a wider audience. We can explore using these new technologies to connect with remote communities or establish educational programs.
Addressing Social Issues: The light can inspire reform. We can be the voices that advocate for the marginalised, challenge social injustices, and work towards a more just and equitable society.
Innovation with Purpose: The world craves solutions. Our Christian values and newfound knowledge can be applied to tackle problems in healthcare, education, or sustainability.
This new era demands a new kind of Christian leader: one who embraces challenges with faith and a desire to improve the world. We are the generation that will carry the torch forward, using our talents and unwavering spirit to illuminate the path ahead. Let us go forth, prepared to contribute to a brighter future for all.
