Something funny happened a couple years ago. Within a span of 24 hours, I was asked for 2 vastly different recommendation letters from 2 vastly different students.
Student A
This student was a top-of-his-class salutatorian with a 4.5GPA, a dedicated student athlete who was (and still is) completely sold out to Christ and a HUGE blessing to our student ministry & local church. He was applying to several colleges and was in the running for several scholarships and needed a recommendation letter
Student B
The second student was, let’s just say, on the other end of the spectrum. He needed a recommendation letter as proof of completion of court-ordered community service.
By the way, juxtaposed stories like this are why I LOVE student ministry.
But the irony of the contrasting letters aside, I still had to write them, and I had a hard time doing this. I remember thinking how awesome it would be if I had a resource with a couple solid examples that I could look at.
So I want to start sharing with you guys some practical resources that you can use in your everyday operations of student ministry. This resource folder contains a couple examples of recommendation letters that I’ve written (Word & PDF versions). Have at it. Love you all.
