Teacher Testimony – Kim Jackson – new!

Kim Jackson - Kindergarten

   As a child I went to church and Sunday School every week with my family, attended Vacation Bible School every summer, prayed certain prayers before meals and at bedtime, sang in the church choir and when old enough helped teach all the wonderful Bible stories I knew by heart. In January of 1996 my husband, two daughters and I moved to Bear, Delaware.  We settled into our new home, enrolled my oldest daughter in school and started to search for a good, safe and loving Christian preschool for our youngest daughter. I started with a large church near our new home…maybe it had a school or at the very least could tell me where I could find one.  Glasgow Christian Academy Preschool was just what I was looking for and they were willing to take my daughter mid-year. It would be years later before I would come to the realization of whose plan it really was and see the path God had already laid out for me.

            It has been fourteen years now since I came to Glasgow Church believing that I knew the Lord…I could never remember a time that I didn’t.  But I have since realized that it is not enough to just know Him, I need to have a daily relationship with Him. It was through the friendship and mentorship of a very godly woman at Glasgow Church that I learned as a young mother how to know, love and fear God. Spiritual strength and growth was not gained overnight but has been and is a constant and regular partaking of spiritual nourishment.  All things happen in His time and what a blessing He has given me in my teaching positions at GCA.  I pray that He will allow me many more years, for what an honor and privilege it is to teach young ones of God’s love for them.
