Christian Teachers
// Tim DeTellis
It’s 8:00 a.m. and the first class at school is Bible class.
Our Christian teachers lead the way in sharing about their personal testimony of following Jesus. Daily, this is the priority because we know without hope in God, there is no hope, really.
Nadege Leriche is our preschool class teacher in Signeau, Haiti. She accepted Jesus as her Savior at seven years of age at our Signeau church. She loves engaging the students with projects in the classroom—from learning the alphabet to learning to write. As a Christian teacher, she influences the spiritual foundation being established in our students’ lives.
Genel Isaac is the fourth grade teacher at our Leogane Guillaume school. He was 24 years old when he finally accepted Jesus at church. He strives to serve his students with the inspiration to become godly leaders.
We want to encourage our students, no matter their age, to rise up as new Christian leaders. “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.” (1 Timothy 4:12)
Our Christian teachers are vital for the consistency of advocating on behalf of our students’ well-being. We see our classrooms as the environment for discipleship and leadership development. ~Tim DeTellis
