Homework CONCLUSION Every literacy lesson includes three main parts: reading, writing, and witnessing. All of these parts are important for the new reader to be able to learn well. A. HOW TO WITNESS I. Preparing to witness The main purpose of the literacy ministry is to teach students to read the Bible, and so strengthen their spiritual lives and witness potential in the church. The teacher must prepare for his opportunity to witness with each lesson. As you help your student read, you may eventually uncover deeper spiritual needs. The teacher should be a friend to the student. Beginning or ending the class with Scripture and prayer opens a door to witness. The dedicated teacher will prepare himself through prayer before each meeting with his student(s). The testimony of the teacher after each lesson is the most important part of the lesson. There is a Bible reference on the second page of every lesson. The teacher may read this Bible reference to his student(s) at the close of each lesson; or he may choose his own reference from one of the Gospels or other Scripture. Beginning with Lesson 12, the name Jesus is introduced, and in the reading section of each following lesson there is Bible content. The teacher must be ready at any time to hold Jesus up for the student to see Him and respond. 4 Jesus said, “I, if I be lifted up (on the cross) will draw all men unto Myself.” Your service of teaching, without witness, is inadequate. Witness, without service, often fails to convince. But prayer, loving service, and witness — these three together — give us our best opportunity to win many to Jesus Christ. From the beginning of the lesson, help the student feel at ease and relaxed. He will then be rested at the end of the lesson and ready for the teacher’s witness. For presenting the Gospel in literacy missions, the following method is useful. II. What the Christian says If you are teaching prayerfully and with Christ’s love, the student may be asking himself a silent question: “Why is my teacher so good to me? What makes him so kind?” The teacher asks this question at the end of the first lesson: “Do you know why Christians teach people to read?” Then the teacher says: “We do this because Jesus wants us to. Jesus is our leader and friend, the kindest person who ever lived. He healed the sick, fed the hungry, and opened the eyes of the blind . . . But more than this, He loved me enough to suffer and die for my sins, and for yours, too. Jesus died as God’s only sacrifice for the sins of everyone. Then God raised Jesus from the dead, and Jesus lives today with His Father in Heaven. If you have darkness in your heart, Jesus can send God’s light to take away the darkness. If you have fear or trouble in your heart, Jesus can send God’s peace to take away your fears and troubles. He can forgive our sins and bring God’s love into our hearts. Jesus sends God’s Holy Spirit to all who love and obey Him . . . I want you to know Him and learn to read His story in the Bible. Jesus is my Savior and He can be your Savior too.” Through your friendly teaching you are earning the opportunity to speak to your student about Christ. Being a friend to your student so that he trusts you opens a way from your friendship to the friendship and saving grace of Jesus Christ. After teaching the second lesson, again with praise and encouragement, you are ready for the second witness. If you would rather read than tell it, you can say: “I told you about the wonderful love of Jesus, Who died for us and now lives for us. Let me read to you one of the wonderful stories of Jesus in the Bible. People who cannot read are blind to what is in books. But as soon as you finish these lessons you will be able to read the stories by yourself. This story is about a man born blind . . .” (John 9:1-7, 35-41). The witness of the teacher after each lesson should be short — only a few minutes at most. As his witness, the teacher reads the Bible reference (on the second page of each lesson) to his student(s) at the close of each lesson. Or, 5 he may choose to read a different reference from one of the Gospels or other Scripture. Answer any questions your student may ask. Listen to the Holy Spirit, Who can lead you to say what you should say, and Who can keep you from saying what you should not say. B. HOW TO TEACH I. Preparing to teach Before teaching your student, tell him that you expect him to teach at least one other person to read, as soon as he has learned to read. Just as your student has freely received help, he should be willing to help one other person learn to read. Teaching adults is very different from teaching children. The adult comes to learn of his own free will. He is not forced to come. Many adults fear that they cannot learn and that they will be embarrassed by their failure. But adults want to learn, as fast and as easily as possible. With this in mind, we have the adult student begin reading from the first lesson. You do not want to offend your student. You want him to return for more teaching. Therefore, carefully practice the following: 1. Speak quietly. Be courteous and respectful. 2. Always encourage your student. Do not forget to praise him often for his good effort. Never become angry at his mistakes. 3. Keep humble, showing honor to your student. Treat him as an equal: never appear superior. 4. Never laugh at mistakes or allow others to laugh. Do not make the student work too hard, nor let him think he is learning too slowly. 5. Love your student and tell him you are sure he can learn quickly. Make the study as happy and interesting as possible. 6. When you are unable to teach, either find a substitute teacher or plan with your student well in advance to teach him at another time. As you teach, remember these important points: 1. Say as little as possible. 2. Never say, “No, that is wrong,” or “Don’t you know that?” Try to help him find the correct answer by himself. Only if necessary, tell it to him. 3. Ask only questions your student should be able to answer. Do not ask the student what he has not yet been taught. With every right answer, he builds his confidence. 6
