THE JOY OF TEACHING "After nearly four decades of teaching in the Christian classroom, my joy in this ministry grows stronger each year. Only in the Christian classroom is the teacher privileged to proclaim the saving message of Jesus, with which the Holy Spirit kindles, nurtures, and enflames faith in the receiving heart. Only in the Christian classroom and school do you have the warmth of a clientele and colleagues who are fellowredeemed. Through my ministry I can join Habakkuk in saying, 'I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.' As I reflect upon the past, I wish I could begin again."
