As a Bible teacher, I enjoy teaching in a way where the students truly see the Bible come alive. Lord willing, as the Bible comes alive before their very eyes, they will choose to be a student of the Word for the rest of their lives.

My favorite subject to teach is World History. World History is the study of everything humans have ever thought, said and done world-wide and there is much that is exciting, fascinating and fun to teach. Also, the study of World History allows us to learn about the nature of man, our achievements and failures as God’s unique creation and the working of God’s providence through history.

What I enjoy most about teaching are those “ah-ha” moments students have when they finally accomplish a challenging task. I want to inspire my students to keep trying, even when sometimes it seems easier to give up. Galatians 6:9 tells us, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
