Some fruit of our Christian labor can be seen quickly, especially when we provide human care and acts of mercy and service to those in need or experiencing great hardships.
However, the fruit of our labor in Christian education may not be revealed for many years... sometimes generations.
Educational ministry and mission is a "in it for the long haul" commitment. Children attend school for many years; discipleship is an ongoing and drawn-out process. For many educators, they may not experience the fruit in the lives of many of the children that they helped develop through their teaching, correction, encouragement.... and especially prayer.
That's why it is good to take time to look back throughout the years and see the faithful hand of God, working through our educational ministries where the Word is taught and shared with the students.
We thank God for the 57 years that LeadaChild has been able to walk alongside those who run the schools and afternoon programs we support. Through the many ups and downs, God has been working in the hearts of children... and we rejoice in seeing the fruit of His grace and mercy.
