Jr. High Christmas Teacher Conference
Right after the Jr. High teachers broke for Christmas we
hosted a 1-day training conference for them at our home. I started the day with
a devotional in Philippians 1 were Paul talks about how he prays for them, then
we all took turns praying for the Jr. High students following Paul’s example.
Next, Roger taught a lesson using Oswald Sanders’ Spiritual Leadership,
which is available here in French thanks to Judy Bowen’s resource ministry.
Then I followed-up with a lesson on the goal of discipline in a Christian
school, which is a tough subject for us here in Togo. Then Christy Sopcisak
tackled some practical teaching situations giving examples of how to introduce
new material and how to respond when a student gives a wrong answer in class.
But Mary takes the cake, literally, because she made sure everything was ready for a meeting of 11 in our home including tables, chairs, snacks, drinks, lunch, and a fantastic cake for dessert.
