I am a Christian educator. My role in each student’s life is to help them understand that the answers to their life’s questions will only be found as they first pursue their relationship with Him. Isaiah 41: 10 reads, “Fear not for I am with you, Be not dismayed for I am your God, I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you. I will strengthen you with my righteous right hand.” This verse is a tremendous example of God’s promises for us if we first seek Him, trust Him and follow His lead. While the world struggles to find this understanding, as Christian educators, we can present the way for our students, but they alone have to accept what God offers – we can’t do that for them.

Due to the policy of my school with its restricted rules and regulations, I constantly affirm who I am, where I come from, where I am going, and the meaning of life manifests constantly in my lifestyle as I teach in my classroom.

With the student, I am presently mentoring, I am able to encourage and remind him of what God says about a particular situation he faces in his studies. This reminder of what God says about his present difficulty gives him the confidence to improve and get better.

In my own classrooms which are dominated by the Muslim faith, my students would occasionally ask me any one of these questions and I am happy to answer them with my own beliefs, as well as privileged that God had placed me there, you will see that excitement to know more yet the need for caution is exercised as per my school policy.

Even though we teach specific subjects everyday, we are also teaching students about being people of God. Lessons that we teach might fade away in a students life, but talking about faith and God will resonate with students even more.
