Such A Wonderful Experience!

After taking this class, I’ve been reading my Bible way more often. I pray so much more often, and I’m so much happier. This was by far one of the best  classes I ever had!

Helping Students Grow And Mature As Citizens

I want to commend to you this program of School Ministries. It’s led by some wonderful folks in this area who love students and want the Word of God to enter into their lives in a way that will be transformative for them, not only now in the time
that they’re students, but also as they grow and mature as citizens of our community.

See Where God Is Working And Join Him
Years ago, I took an Experiencing God class… one of the main phrases in that study was to see where God is working and join Him in that, and School Ministries Alabama fits that opportunity as well as anything that I have ever been able to be a part of.

The First Time Where Someone Outside My Family Poured Into My Faith

This has been, like, the first time where someone outside of my family has been able to pour in to help my faith. It’s really challenged me and really helped me a lot.

Bringing Bible Education Into School

We can no longer say that we can’t bring Christian education, Bible education into the school because we can, and School Ministries Alabama has the support and the structure that’s going to allow us to
get that done.

Teaching With School Ministries Has Been Miraculous

One of the things I did as a mom was I sent my children to private school so that they could hear the Bible every day, and honestly I caught a little flack from that as a public school teacher! …teaching with School Ministries Alabama has just really been – it’s been miraculous, it’s been marvelous.

God Just Did One Miracle After Another.

I would never have thought, like I would have an opportunity to do this [teach a released time Bible class]… to work doing something I absolutely love. God just did one miracle after another to make this happen… I couldn’t have dreamed it being as good as it has been.
