Teaching Teachers to Teach Sunday School
Nearly
everything we do in ministry involves teaching. The majority of our time is
spent either actively teaching others or it is spent with us learning from
others. Often, teaching and learning go on at the same time.
Kenis is one of our vocational school instructors and also a Sunday School teacher. |
The Shalom
Church is blessed with a special group of teachers. Several members of the
congregation are experienced professional teachers at different academic levels
in the public and private education system, while others teach outside a formal
classroom. Beyond the practical
experience and natural talents that each one has, God has given these teachers
the spiritual gift of teaching for the purpose of edifying the local church.
It appears that everyone had a great time, |
We recently
held a Christian Education seminar that was planned and carried out by our own
teachers from the Shalom church. There were 25 teachers in attendance. Some are
already active Sunday School teachers, others were leaders of discipleship
groups and others were involved in our outreach ministries to the new churches
that we are helping start. There were also several participants who are future
teachers responding to God’s call on their lives to become involved in the work
of the church. I was amazed by the years
of experience among our teachers. These men and women have been obedient in
working tirelessly for the past three years.
I was also
impacted by the potential that is represented by these teachers. I wonder how
much can be accomplished if each one reaches their potential?
