"Faith Journey and Professionalism"

“We have been called by the Spirit to serve God’s most precious ones as their faith begins. Just as we are ministering to students and their families, we have been given the Holy Spirit who enlightens us to new ways to share our faith. You have been given a precious gift, the ability to help children to learn and grow in many different areas. The most important of these is in their faith that will lead them to eternal life.

For this reason, we have to be a Spirit-filled people who share the love of God with the families that we work with each day. In our own lives, God has used other people and events to mold and shape us into a life of service. Share your faith in written ways to families to whom you minister. This can be done as part of a Web page, newsletter, or in your day-to-day conversations.

Wherever you are serving, God is using you to serve Him so children grow in everlasting faith. Never forget that you too have been chosen and are God’s child, as well as those to whom you minister. Continue in your studying of the Word so that your faith may increase, through the power of the Holy Spirit. It is only through this growth that you can lead others to the Savior who came to suffer, die, and rise again so that we could serve Him and receive our reward in heaven.”

This quote reflects the hopes of the staff at the Nebraska District Office toward the people and the ministry of ECE teachers in the Nebraska District.
