I shared the real meaning of Easter and then started sharing core value principles that Cindy Duff, a Bible teacher at Northside Christian School, shared with me. When I started working on the lessons from the outlines she sent me, I understood that I needed to rework the material to share with students who are not believers. I prepared lessons each week with PowerPoint presentations.
We had lessons from the Bible on respect, excellence, responsibility, gratitude, love for God and others, honesty and obedience.
The school year ended on May 31. During the summer months I need to continue preparation for these classes in the fall. It takes me about eight to ten hours to prepare a 45 minute lesson. Please pray that God will give me wisdom as I share the Word of God with these students who have never heard the Gospel and have never had exposure to God’s Word until now.
At my last class, the students and teachers presented me with bouquets of flowers, gifts and thank you notes. One of the teachers wrote, “Thanks for the joy of having you in our classes. Thanks for the light, for God’s Word you bring to us. Having met you once, Denise, you have a special place in our hearts!”
One student wrote, “Thank you so much for everything you have done. Thank you for fantastic lessons. They were very interesting and useful. Every week there was something new and amazing. Every lesson we talked about things which make our life better.”
