Every year, we deliver New Teacher Bags to the educators joining our schools. These bags are filled with practical supplies, encouragement, scripture, and snacks to help them begin the year with confidence. But the bags are more than just supplies. They open the door for us to personally meet every new teacher, introduce ourselves, and make sure they know there are bold Christians in their school who are ready to encourage, pray with them, or simply be a listening ear.
Our prayer is that every teacher who receives a bag knows they are not stepping into the classroom alone—God goes before them, and they have a community of believers standing beside them.
We also could no do this without the help of some amazing local sponsors. Our goal next year is to grow this ministry to 6 total schools and about 150 new teachers. If you would like to support this, you can do so below. If you are a business owner and would like to donate, please reach out using the form.
God has opened the door for Gospel & Gradebooks to serve teachers and students in new ways, and we believe He’s not done yet. Here are a few of the ministries we’re praying about and preparing to launch in the future:
Establishing a network of teachers and community members committed to praying daily for students, staff, and administrators.
Hosting evenings of worship, fellowship, and encouragement specifically for educators.
Providing ongoing support for teachers through seasonal deliveries of supplies, snacks, and notes of encouragement.
Pairing veteran Christian teachers with first-year educators for guidance, prayer, and encouragement.
In addition to our podcast and school-based ministries, Jamie and Timm are available to speak at churches, conferences, other podcasts, and events. Whether it’s encouraging men to boldly follow Christ, equipping teachers with biblical truth, or sharing their own testimonies, they bring a message of hope, faith, and boldness rooted in Scripture.
