WHAT I LIKE ABOUT TEACHING

I see teaching as equipping children to take on life. I love seeing the “light bulb” go on when they understand a new concept and the immediate confidence it brings them.  But most of all I feel privileged to see the Lord developing skills and traits in children that He will one day use. The specific plans and purposes he created them for. A child’s growing heart for the Lord is the greatest joy of teaching
