The truth that God loves us so much that he showed us grace and mercy that we did not earn and do not deserve at all is a precious concept. This truth brings great hope to all of us who believe on his name. Along with that blessed redemption, we have the promise in his Word that he alone offers restoration of what Satan tries to rob from us. A fresh start and the promise of a fulfilling life in him is the hope on which we build our faith. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Open Sans','Arial',sans-serif;\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><b><span style=\"line-height:107%\">Greatest Discipleship Opportunities<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Open Sans','Arial',sans-serif;\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\">The field of education is one of the largest discipleship opportunities in the world. In about every country on this planet, people have access to some form of education. What other career field offers the opportunity to minister to so many students, their families, and our colleagues? Christian educators have a huge influence in the lives of those we touch. Education is a major career path that gives us opportunities to implement Christ\u2019s mandate in Matthew 28:18-20. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Open Sans','Arial',sans-serif;\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\">If you Google \u201cWhat does it mean to make disciples of Christ?\u201d this is what you may find (credit given to AI):&nbsp; <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Open Sans','Arial',sans-serif;\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\">\u201cDiscipleship making \u2013 entering into <u>relationships<\/u> to help people trust and follow Jesus, which includes the whole process from conversion through maturation and multiplication.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-center\" style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Open Sans','Arial',sans-serif;\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\">and<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Open Sans','Arial',sans-serif;\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\">\u201cDisciple maker \u2013 a disciple of Jesus who enters into <u>relationships<\/u> with people to help them trust and follow Jesus.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Open Sans','Arial',sans-serif;\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><b> <span style=\"line-height:107%\">Discipling Through <\/span> <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/nazarene.org\/who-we-are\/organization\/ministries\/ndi\/core-principles\/authentic-relationships\" style=\"color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline\"> <b> <span style=\"line-height:107%\">Relationships<\/span> <\/b> <\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Open Sans','Arial',sans-serif;\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\">The ministry of being an educator is a high calling from God and is a mission field ripe with opportunities to gather a harvest for Jesus, no matter where we are working. The opportunity to make Christlike disciples awaits us whether we work in Christian schools, public schools, higher education, preschools, or homeschools. These settings offer opportunities to share God\u2019s redemption and restoration with our students, colleagues, and the family each student represents. We could look for opportunities to share by forming relationships in the places we consistently serve. It may be more challenging in some settings (like public schools), but God leads us as we seek his plan for our ministry. Christians have many more rights to express their faith than they might believe. Nazarene Educators Worldwide is ready to help with how to minister to those around you, even in secular places. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Open Sans','Arial',sans-serif;\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\">Watch what God will do when we surrender ourselves to be his ambassadors. Sometimes, we may be the only ones to share the love of Jesus, in hopes of giving the students and adults a unique perspective on how they live their lives. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Open Sans','Arial',sans-serif;\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><b><span style=\"line-height:107%\">Discipling through the Way We Discipline<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Open Sans','Arial',sans-serif;\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\">As a public school educator for over 40 years, I have seen God work in many areas. One that comes immediately to mind is the area of discipline in our classrooms. The difference between more traditional forms of discipline and punishment and a restorative approach is that the restorative concept is both proactive and supportive as much as it is responsive. Bathed in prayer and constant attention to maintaining a caring environment, restorative approach creates a setting where negative issues are less likely to arise. If they do arise, we have already built the connections between people and developed the skills to address the issues and restore a positive classroom. This gives the Christian educator a perfect opportunity to stand out in how we deal with issues and for others to ask why we manage discipline in this way. We can then communicate the redemption we have received and ways we are modeling what Christ has done for us. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Open Sans','Arial',sans-serif;\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\">God bless each of you as you model Christ in your classrooms and schools.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":22633,"menu_order":0,"template":"","ndi-journey-tags":[1437,1436,1435],"class_list":["post-41840","ndi-journey","type-ndi-journey","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","ndi-journey-tags-educational-setting-fr","ndi-journey-tags-gospel-fr","ndi-journey-tags-share-fr"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Our Calling to Share the Gospel in All Educational Settings - Church of the Nazarene<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/nazarene.org\/fr\/ndi-journey\/our-calling-to-share-the-gospel-in-all-educational-settings\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"fr_FR\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Our Calling to Share the Gospel in All Educational Settings\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The most wonderful treasure of our salvation is the redemption and restoration offered by God through his Son, Jesus Christ!
