I integrate fun with learning the Sunday school lessons so that my students will be eager to learn and have fun while doing it. Teaching in Oklahoma City at Faith Outreach Independent Baptist Church and have been in this role for 3 years. Because of a lifelong passion for teaching children is the reason why I teach Sunday school. When I was a child and people would ask me what I want to do when I grow up and would respond by telling them that wanted to become a teacher. And people would commend my goal because of the passion and patience that I possess when it comes to dealing with children.
The people who are involved are me, my Sunday school class and the rest of the congregation. My role and responsibility is clearly stands out from the other teachers because I work with the children, which takes much effort to keep them attentive.

    Since leading children to Jesus is the whole idea of Children’s Ministry and that I now know this is a weakness of mine I believe that I will start working on making it a strength. Throughout my whole life I have never really tried to make an effort to evangelize. Even growing up and having friends who would have benefited if I tried to point them to Jesus, it never occurred to me that it was something that I should do. Another reason why I believe that this is a weakness is because I myself am not yet to the point where I am comfortable talking about my own faith.…

    With the help of the teachers, and the other volunteers that were working with me, I learned how to be open to others and their opinions in small groups, and how to interact with kid that had serious problems in their life or had not accepted Christ as their personal Savior. By the end of the week, 126 kids gave their lives to Christ. In my group, I helped 5 of those kids know Jesus. I honestly can say that from this experience I feel that I have touched at least one of the kids I supervise. From getting personal with the kids in the small groups to just playing games or walking with them, I have truly connected and made a relationship with them.…

    I knew from a young age that teaching was what I was meant to do. Shadowing a teacher for a day in eight grade cemented for me that I was going to be a teacher. While the age of the student I was wanting to teach has changed as I've gotten older that drive to teach has never left. Working as an Educational Assistant at St. Louis Community College has only poured gasoline on that fire and passion for teaching.

    Central to a person’s beliefs and actions lies their worldview. That is, what a person views as real, true, and of value will dictate how a person acts, responds, and views others. More than this, a person’s views in these areas will determine what that person gives his or her attention to and what that person avoids. Whether or not we take the time to analyze each of our beliefs and to determine whether they complement our other beliefs, we have a worldview and act based upon our worldview. Thus, it is important for Christian educators (or really all Christians) to examine their own worldview and ensure that their worldview is based on truth and not on relativity.…

If I notice that students are not properly demonstrating the skill, once the discussion is over, I may ask a student that properly discussed the skill share what they said with the entire class. I will then remind the students how to properly make an inference and address any misconceptions.…
