At Kuza International School, we believe that education goes beyond academics. We are passionate about nurturing learners and parents who live with purpose and vision. That’s why we love sharing valuable resources for spiritual and personal growth.

One such life-changing resource is The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren — an inspiring guide for anyone seeking to understand why they are here on earth.

A 40-Day Spiritual Journey

The book takes you through a 40-day journey designed to help you discover God’s five key purposes for your life. Each day builds on the last, offering reflections, practical steps, and encouragement grounded in Scripture.

“For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible… everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him.”
— Colossians 1:16 (The Message)

Rick Warren emphasizes that you were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense.

The Five Purposes of Life According to Rick Warren

Here’s a summary of the 5 key purposes from The Purpose Driven Life:

---

1️⃣ You Were Planned for God’s Pleasure (Worship)
You were created to bring joy to God by having a close, personal relationship with Him.

“The Lord takes pleasure in his people.” — Psalm 149:4 (NIV)

True worship is not just about singing songs — it’s living daily with the awareness of God’s presence.

---

2️⃣ You Were Formed for God’s Family (Fellowship)
God doesn’t want you to go through life alone. You were created for community — to belong to a spiritual family.

“So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s family.” — Ephesians 2:19 (NLT)

---

3️⃣ You Were Created to Become Like Christ (Discipleship)
Life is a process of spiritual growth. God’s ultimate goal is for you to develop the character of Jesus Christ.

“For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son.” — Romans 8:29 (NLT)

---

4️⃣ You Were Shaped for Serving God (Ministry)
God uniquely designed you with gifts, talents, and experiences to serve others.

“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others.” — 1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)

At Kuza, we encourage our learners to develop a heart of servant leadership from a young age.

---

5️⃣ You Were Made for a Mission (Evangelism)
You are called to share God’s love and Good News with others.

“Go and make disciples of all nations.” — Matthew 28:19 (NIV)

This mission begins in your family, school, neighborhood, and extends to the world.
