In fact, in a conversation with one administrator from Vermont, he pointed to the influence of just one teacher who was really on fire for the Lord. All through history, we have seen the power of single-minded Christian men and women in reaching others for Christ. In a Christian school, the board, pastor, and administrator make policy, but its up to the teachers out in the trenches to give life to those policies. Life is short, and only what is done for Christ will really matter. If God so leads, when you finish this article, pray that God will use you to promote godly Christian leadership as never before in your school.
Prayer is, after all, the oil which makes all the above machinery work together.
Not only a single prayer of commitment, but prayer from groups of friends and supporters of the school who hear about your efforts to promote student leadership in sermons, newsletters, and other school communications. If you make a concerted effort to do all of the above, and have supporters bathe the issue in prayer, by the grace of God, you will see an increase in godly student leadership. And that is what our country and churches need more than ever. References Independent School Management. A history of Christian school education.
