The monitor’s mission
If the parents do not fulfill their role in the biblical teaching of their children, the relay is actually passed to the monitor. Its intervention is therefore crucial.

And if, fortunately, for some children, the family offers the best conditions for good spiritual development, the mission of the monitor is nevertheless of primary importance.

His testimony, his teaching, what he does or does not do to help the child to integrate into the Christian community, all his actions will have an impact in the life of the child.

His recognition by the church
Sunday School can be an easily forgotten industry. Taking place outside the hall of worship, it is invisible to the majority of church members. However, the work of which the monitors are in charge concerns the future of the Church and the families. Since it is primarily spiritual in nature, they need to be supported by prayer.

It may therefore be useful to put in place a communication “strategy” to publicize this important work. Here are some ideas:

• On the occasion of the start of the school year, the team of instructors can be presented at the church,
• during meetings, always reserve a prayer time for the instructors and for the children,
• organize children’s interventions at meetings (songs, entertainment…),
• prepare small gifts with the children that they can distribute to church members at a party,
• install in the entrance of the place of worship a bulletin board reserved for the Sunday School, visible to all, and presenting the activities of the children, the educational programs, the outings, the missionary involvement, the projects… Add a nice poster saying “We need your prayer!” for example…
