           The ministry of the educator



How can we describe the importance of the ministry of the teacher in the Kids Zone? 


The same way that we should describe the importance of the ministry of the pastor: take care and save the sheep that God trusts in his hands. 

Our sheep are small, innocents and helpless. They require a special care, because they are still fragile, fiscally and spiritually speaking. When I say “ours sheep”, I refer to a love, affection and attention that we have for them as if they were “ours” even. 

However, they are from God. And Himself gave you each one of the little sheep that you see in the church. Can you imagine that you are holding in your hands something that is from the own God? It’s so strong... you cannot falter. Look what the bible says: “But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.”(Mt 18:6) 

The ministry of the Kids Zone consists in take care of those sheep that many times arrive wounded, with negative marks. It consists in alert them about the dangers of the world, and protect them from the thieves and wolves that are always ready to attack. 

If we truly love our Lord, we will fulfill our ministry with zeal, affection, always doing our best, dedicating our life entirely to that call. “Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, received me: and whosoever shall receive me, received not me, but him that sent me” Mark 9:37



When the class is not planned



The planning of a class is something extremely important, and when that does not occurs the class pass from being great to be normal. And we don’t want that...When a class is not planned, the teacher will follow the basic model of all class:-Prayers, songs, break, word, some games and drawings... And nothing else!!The class will follow a rhythm that the child already knows, won’t have anything new, beside the fact that the teacher won’t be able to manage properly the time, and as consequence have moments that she won’t know what to do with the kids.. And that is very bad.Each class has to mark the child; each class has to be different from the other one. The children also have to get out of the Kids Zone willing more, not only in a physical level (games etc.), but also in a spiritual level.We were called to bring something in the lives of those children, and if we follow the basic model in all classes this won’t happen... That’s why we have to plan, ask for direction to God and give this direction to the children.The children also must have thirst of God and sate this thirst when look for God in the Kids Zone, as we sate our thirst when we go to the church and feed our spirit.One class is not only a class, a class in the Kids Zone is part of the spiritual life of a child, if not the beginning, cause as we know many children grow in the Kids Zone.


We have a big responsibility in ours hands; let’s not do this work relaxed!!

Planning according to age


In regards of the planning of classes, is always good highlight the importance of planning according to the age of the children. Some games, dynamics or activities with drawings can fall as glove to children of the Big Kids. However with the younger ones... can frustrate all the planning.







The little class planned



In a planned class we tend to “cross our fingers” and hope that reunion ends as soon as possible, even why… what to do if it doesn't end? That is one of the main features. In the other hand, a planned class follows a totally different rhythm… As the teacher got prepared, she knows exactly the time of the reunion and try to not give any gap between one activity and other. When the children are told about the end of the class, usually they shout: - Oh no, teacher!!! Already??? Lol Yeah, if your classes end up in this way: CONGRATULATIONS!! YOU WERE ABLE TO MAKE A GREAT CLASS!! But if your class always finishes in a vague moment and the children run as if they were running from someone... YOU WERE NOT SUCCEED!! It would be hypocrisy say that all the classes occur as planned, but if with the planning we run the risk of having some surprises... Imagine without this preparation!! To help in the prepare of your classes, put yourself in the place of the kids. If you were one of them, what would you like to do??What would you expect in the School of the church? 


“Most people do not plan to fail, fail because they don’t plan” (John L. Beckley)


Planning your class


 

Plan the class may seem “artificial”, but actually it’s essential!!

Make a reunion in the spirit is primordial, but certainly the children will realize when you don’t prepare your class.

Is necessary always have the class under control, make that the children don’t have time to disperse.

And that is only possible with a great planning of the class.
Every week we receive the lessons that come from USA and are what help us in this planning, however leave everything for those lessons it’s not act with wisdom.
Is necessary go further of what is proposed, make beyond what is orderly, be truly good and faithful servants.

Ideas for class


Pedagogical box




Puppets to tell stories 




 






Child of Prayer


No child will be of prayer if not instructed to make prayer requests.

Each teacher has the commitment and responsibility to do prayers constantly, and include the name of each child who suffers. This box can be taken in the prayer meeting, put the names of family members, schoolmates, etc.


But beyond that, it´s necessary to always be made exclusive´s purposes of prayer in the Kids zone. 

Here are some ideas: give a specific paper to prayer requests, and that can even be done in the nursery; the teacher can talk to parents and guide them to make specific requests for the children while the kids don´t talk and write, when they grow up they will make their own requests.Another suggestion is to put those requests in a prayer box, and pray with the kids the whole week, and at the end of the deadline the requests be given to the pastor.

Always ask if someone already have an answered request, “encourage yourself to do that, don´t be afraid of doing it, because a little time after this purpose, God will answer and we will have a miracle” Then you beloved teacher will have a mission... Inform us and disclose the miracles... testifying.




"The Importance of the Teachers 

by Bishop Macedo"






  • We need to realize we are molding the children to be servants of God
  • We will not only touch the children but save their families through them.

A Teacher needs to be :


  1. Dedicated 
  2. Patient 
  • A gift to teach the children the true path of Jesus! 

Note: If you are not gifted in this area it is best that you step out. You will not of course be looked bad and you will still stay as a helper. But the Kids Zone has to be filled with teachers that have that desire to change the lives of the kids.
