Bringing God's Heart Home for Generations Through Super Teacher Training
Event
In June and July 2023, we held training for 2 days 1 night which was packaged in the form of retreats as well as training to equip child ministers (Sunday school teachers, ECCE teachers and School of Life tutors) from CBN partner churches in 23 cities in Indonesia. It was our hope that these child servants could become Child Caregivers, so we named them Super Teachers.
During these 2 days 1 night, more than 2000 participants were invited to know the vocation and return to God's call for their lives, know the Father's heart for generations and learn how to activate the spiritual gifts that have been given to them.
Praise God! There were many testimonies we heard from participants in each city. They were reaffirmed and committed upon returning from this Super Teacher to share God's heart for the generations of children they served in their respective churches.
We've put together five of Super Teacher's best testimonials to share with CBN Partners.
Check out the details below.
Berkat Marbun - GBI Lorong Karto, Medan Perjuangan
'I am blessed from the second material 'Having a Heart Like God'. Indeed, all this time I have been burdened with Sunday School. But this time it felt different from the previous days, where 'God's heart' was placed in my heart and God loved children very much and did not want any children to be lost. I want to tell all Sunday school teachers, never give up because God has not given up on all of our lives.'
Sulastriani - GBI Sepenuh Sentosa Karang, Central Java
'We are blessed to participate in this event (Super Teacher). One thing that makes me blessed is that children's ministry is important! I made up my mind and committed to Sunday School. I encourage Sunday school teachers to attend events like this because it equips us. Sunday school teachers must have hearts and burdens for our children. Serving children is not just about opening the Bible, teaching it, but really having a heart for children.'
Eeni Berni – Sunday School of GMIT Efata Soe
'I was impressed by the material shared that the real child is God's extraordinary entrustment. What we get (from the Super Teacher event) we will continue to the children God entrusted in our respective places of ministry. The materials presented make us strong and we believe that all things are in God's favor. God will help us to bring parents, pastors and assemblies to see that children are the backbone of the church that we need to educate, we need to nurture, and we need to love with all our hearts.'
Yafet Risdian – Sunday School of Allah Baik Miracle Center Church.
'I was blessed from the first session on 'Calling'. During my journey I was also a weak human being, sometimes also bored and sometimes even crying myself because I saw one child who did not change, which every week actually caused problems. Sometimes I will keep my distance from the child. But praise the Lord, God reminded me again that I can be faithful in God's call. For Sunday school teachers to also be reminded through this event that we are not only conveying God's word (to children) but we also want to be filled by the truth of God's word.'
Ester – ECCE Teacher of Kristen Nafiri Sion Tana Toraja
'I am grateful to be equipped through this Super Teacher. The Lord again reminded me that discipleship begins with us, not in our studies. But it's how our lives as teachers disciple children. The fire we get from this show (Super Teacher) we want to give entirely to God and to the children. Although conditions are not good, we must still serve the children well.'
CBN partners, thank you for your support every child minister blessed and ready to produce a generation of children who love God, love His word and missionary.
