UPH Teachers College Graduation
CHARGE TO GRADUATES

DR. James T. Riady
UPH, Karawaci, June 3, 2011

Good afternoon graduates, students, parents, friends, Rectorate,
distinguished member of the faculty, Dean Connie, and fellow Yayasan
executives.

I am deeply honored to have been asked to address you on this mort
important occasion, the 2nd and largest graduation and commencement
ceremony of UPH Teachers College. Nothing is more important to the whole
vision of the Yayasan, and to me personally, than the work that TC does to
prepare teachers for God's kingdom.

To the graduates, I congratulate you. Each of you has passed the most
rigorous selection, and scholarship process that I know of, here or abroad.
You have worked very hard, very diligently, and have put in long hours over
the last four years. You have also demonstrated leadership within the
campus in plays, sports, student council, chapels, spiritual activities, in
various operational & administrative roles, and have set the tone for the
rest of the student body. You have been an outstanding cohort, and an
exceptional class. Congratulations. You will be missed.

To the faculty, we salute you for your total commitment and dedication to
give the best to these graduates. You have prepared them extremely well for
the road ahead. As TC graduates, you have given them a wonderful start on
their journey, and they will remember you the rest of their lives.

This is a Teachers College blessed with strong leadership from the Rector,
President, and with creativity and commitment from a talented faculty. TC
has prospered from the presence of leaders like Dean Connie Rasilim. There
is not a day that she dosen't give the best to her students. Thank you.

Graduates, parents, ladies and gentlemen, in 1989 Pak Johannes and I
received a vision and a mission from God to embark upon a Pelita Harapan
movement in response to God's call in this age for a revival in true
Christian education. A Yayasan was formed, leaders gathered, vision and
mission crystallized, teachers selected, tens of millions invested, schools
formed, and finally UPH. The journey has always been on account of urgency
and rigor. The resolve was always clear: to upfit and proclaim the
pre-eminence of Christ in everything in the universe through Christian
education, and in a redemptive way back to Him. The resolve was always a
united and inflexible determination to go to war againts the status quo of
decay and destruction in our societies and communities, of the people of
Indonesia. To embark on a Pelita Harapan movement of this scale and
complexity is, and has indeed been, a serious undertaking.

But make no mistake, we are still in the very preliminary phase of what I
believe is one of the most critical and greatest battles in Indonesia's
history. A battle againts secularism, relativism, liberalism, and the
anti-God, anti-Christ, anti-family spirit of the renaissance,
enlightenment, modernism, post-modernism, and the new-age movement. We are
in action on so many fronts now - at higher education schools, in the
capital city, in the cities, and in the outlying areas, all the way from
Nias in the extreme West to Papua at our border in the East. We are up
againts bureaucracy, norms, vested interests, and along the way, deserters,
and the ups and downs of our economic conditions. Neither have we been
immune from politics, and social pressures and upheavals like what we saw
in 1998. There are lots of temptations and distractions, and often, we are
weak and undeserving. But by God's grace, He sustains us, He preserves us.
He pulls us when we are proud. And He pushes us when we are down and
discouraged. He sends us partners and co-workers along the way, always
timely, and always in sufficient measure. He blessed us with TC, the
central portion of our vision, and Tabor, and Corban to walk with us side
by side and to lend us a foot when we lost ours.

Graduates, faculty, ladies and gentlemen, the battle is continuing and will
become increasingly intense. We still have much to do. We still have a long
way to go to reach the goal of 1000 schools, to the time when children in
the disadvated areas in Indonesia will have a reasonable chance of being
redeemed, of coming to a personal relationship with our Lord, and of seeing
their talents being developed. We are still a long way off to get out of
the current crisis where only 2% of Indonesians have a chance of becoming
part of Indonesia's elite as they fall off in grades 7-10, as the
communities fail them, and as the bridges of access and opportunity are no
longer there for them.

In these situations, I may be pardoned if I am less than cuddly to say that
this is really a commencement for each of you just as it is for us. We have
a very large cohort of 254 graduates, which is large by any standard. All
of you are going into our own schools, or partner schools. This is
important because content must have its own container. By God's grace, this
year we are blessed with the responsibility of another 22 schools.
Graduates, you must take it seriously. Nothing but a full commitment,
dedication and hard work. Give your best, touch every life you see, grab
their hands, grab their hearts, and catch their tears. What this cohort
will do is to lay the cornerstone of our journey in Christ-centered
education, and the foundation for the next 100, 200, 300, or 500 schools.
You can not afford to fail as there is too much at stake. There is no room
for deserters, for doubters, for troublemakers, or for the ignorant.

Please, you must go out there to fight and stage a revival. You must give
what Churchill said when he said, "Give your blood, tears and sweat,
nothing less". You must press on, and press on just like the Apostle Paul.
You must never give up, never ever give up. Never.

Your starting point must be a deep sense of gratitude and understanding of
the grace of God in your salvation, that God came, incarnated, crucified,
died, and resurrected for you. Every time you are reminded of your
salvation, be reminded of your calling. It is about calling. Not about
teaching or being a teacher but about responding to God's calling in your
life through teaching. Remember few are saved, even fewer are called to do
God's will in history and actually empowered to impact other lives and
society. Guard your theology - 'Hubungan Pribadi Dengan Tuhan' or a
Personal Relationship with God - work it out daily. Have a zeal for
evangelism and sense of urgency.

Let our vision and mission be realized, all for His glory. Go out there,
never give up. Give your heart, nothing but your very best. Let's journey
together in strength and when your work is done, say Luke 17:10 "So you
also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, 'We
are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.'"

Amen.
