Praying for Teachers in Greater Montgomery

One of our KEY FOCUSES in the Montgomery Baptist Association is on SCHOOLS. Hopefully, we pray for our schools, we hope you support your teachers and local schools as well. Did you know that you don't have to have a kid in one of our Montgomery public schools to be involved? If you live in that community, you can approach the administration and get involved.

Last week was Teacher Appreciation Week. That was an "official" appreciation week for teachers but every week can be teacher appreciation week for our churches/individuals, etc. 



What can you do to appreciate your teachers?
1. Pray for them. Pray that the Lord will guide and direct them as they teach and mentor students. Ephesians 5:15-17 "Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is". 

2. Find out some needs they have and have your family, your church, your business meet those needs. 1 John 3:17 "But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?"

3. Encourage them. 1 Thessalonians 5:11 "Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing". 

Pray for our teachers. They DO affect us. I know each of us can name a teacher who has influenced us both positively AND negatively. Pray for teachers to be a positive influence on our children in the Greater Montgomery area.
