I honestly went into a state of shock. I work as an educational administrator in an environment where several of the staff have no personal relationship with Jesus and two of the teachers do not believe in the Bible, Jesus or God. My biggest concern was that these people are working with children. Therefore, my husband and I pray each morning prior to me leaving the house. We have even gone to the school and prayed on the weekends. It has been very difficult to evaluate these people based on their peformance and not their beliefs. I have in no way been ashamed of the gospel and have managed to let my light shine in the midst of demonic spirits. However, you are correct in saying that we are so comfortable in our church environments. We need training for returning to the secular to serve. For it is definitely ministry in action!
