Today we give thanks to God for the precious opportunity to teach the Bible in schools around the world. We praise God for the many volunteer teachers who faithfully serve young people each week, supported and trained by organisations such as Youthworks, under the leadership of The Revd Canon Craig Roberts, Chief Executive Officer, who also serves as Coordinator of the Gafcon Children’s and Youth Network.
We pray that the opportunities to teach the Bible in schools would grow globally, and that teachers and students alike would have access to high-quality curriculum that explains the gospel of Jesus with clarity and faithfulness. As teachers are trained and equipped, we give thanks that this work contributes to Gafcon’s commitment to Growing Orthodox Leaders.
We also pray for training conferences, including this week’s SRE (Special Religious Education) Conferences across Sydney Diocese and online throughout Australia, asking that the Lord would encourage, equip, and sustain all who teach.
