    Do you have a difficult time recruiting and taining teachers and helpers for your children's ministry? If so, then this book will give you proven ways to support, encourage, and recruit your teachers. It has page after page of reproducible resources and information in the following areas:

  • Teacher Support

    Information designed to help you develop ways you can support your teachers with prayer, recruiting enough teachers, team teaching, developing written job descriptions, training, and developing a parent support ministry.

  • Teacher Encouragement

    This portion is devoted to providing you with the resources needed to maintain an encouragement ministry by noticing teachers birthdays and anniversaries, publishing a biweekly or monthly newsletter, providing each teacher with their own mailbox to leave "surprises in for them, just to name a few.

   There are reproducible pages with enough ideas for the "mailbox surprises" and daily Bible reading guides to last for five years before you would need to go back and repeat them. This book gives you the resources you need to develop and maintain a teacher support and encouragement ministry.

Resource Strengths:

This book provides the following strengths:

  • reproducible

  • good buy

  • useful do-able information that allows you to choose those ideas that you are able to commit to

  • abundance of resources

  • proven to be effective in large and small churches
   I highly recommend this book as a useful tool to aid you in supporting your teachers and helpers. I have used this information and these resources for years in my churches and have seen where they have helped to make a difference by freeing teachers to truly enjoy the ministry of serving in the children's ministry. Ministry is never meant to be a burden and if we support and encourage our teachers we will find we have teachers who are not burdened or burned-out, which enables us to be effective in our ministry!
