In talking about my ministry with a bunch of my friends in America recently, I got to sort out what some of my favorite parts about it are, and my most favorite part of the ministry is watching other people meet Jesus. I usually get to see this in my reading sessions with my students. It is such a beautiful thing to read a passage from the gospels with someone who has never read it before and see them not only understand it and the power of its message, but meet Jesus and the kind of God He is in that passage.
All the stories from the Bible I read with my students are ones I have known since I was a child and saw them in flannel-graff at Sunday school, but I rediscover the life-changing power that is in these stories when I read and discuss them with my students and see them marvel at God and His Love and Grace.
Sometimes Christians fall into the false thought that they can only be fed and taught spiritually by those who are spiritually more mature than they (or their spiritual seniors), but this past year, as I have worked in Thailand, I have been grown spiritually so much by "baby" Christians and even non-Christians as they study the Work of God.
