It has been a week now since the last day of our training, but I just wanted to share a few more pictures from our last couple o
On Thursday Bethany shared the story of the woman at the well. She shared how Jesus loved this woman even though jews thought samaritans to be unclean and even though this woman had made many unwise choices in her life. She encouraged the teachers to love their students no matter what kind of family or tribe they come from and no matter how many mistakes they may make. On Friday I shared a devotion on humility and how as teachers we are going to face oppostition daily. As these teachers move out into their schools and demonstrate love they may face people that ridicule them and tell them they are weak. This is because they are not using their position of power to demand respect. We talked about how love is costly. To love like Jesus may mean we risk our reputations and even relationships. I encouraged these teachers to demonstrate humility and find strength in Christ.
Throughout the week we had the teachers do a bucket project. Each day they decorated their plastic bucket with a verse from that day's teaching. At the end of the week we filled their bucket with different items for them to take back to their schools such as gluesticks, water colors, pencils, etc. These items were given both as a tool and as a reminder of what they learned during their week of training.
Below is a picture of our happy group. Please continue to pray for these teachers. Pray that they would demonstrate Christ's love in their classrooms. Pray they would be a beacon of light in their schools.
