Teacher as Missionary
The Opportunity
Everyday God brings you children who do not know the saving Gospel message. Their parents have chosen to bring their most precious gift, their child, to you. No matter the motive for the parents to choose you and your class, you have the one thing that these parents and children do not know - the Gospel message. God is using you as a missionary to share the Gospel.
