I quickly realized I was describing a task that was not worthy of life commitment. I explained that a preschooler's first understanding of what God is like is formed at church. These children begin to shape their perceptions of the character of God by the care and attention they receive in our preschool ministry. I also explained that as preschool teachers they allowed parents of the children to attend classes for adults so they could learn about Christ and commit their lives to Him. I concluded that when teaching preschoolers, preschool leaders not only touch the lives of precious children, leaders also touch whole families.
Visionary teachers encourage others to develop their own vision for the class.
As we read the New Testament and consider the radical commitment of early church leaders, we realize they were fueled with a driven that only vision can produce. Obviously, from Christ Jesus. This vision and Paul's personal commitment grew throughout his ministry. Realize that a vision for your class will grow out of God's purposes for your life. You must spend time with God, asking what He has planned for your life and how He wants to use you in the class.
