Philosophy on Christian education:
My role as a Christian educator is based on Mark 4:26-29 where Jesus says, “The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground. He sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed sprouts, and grows; he knows not how. The earth produces by itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. But when the grain is ripe, at once he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.” I believe it is my role as a Christian teacher to spread the seeds of God’s love in the children God has placed before me. Although I do not know how or when, I know those seeds will germinate and grow and mature according to God’s plan.
