Church of God Teacher of the Year Announced
The International Department of Youth and Christian Education, along with Pathway Press, announces the 2007 winner of the annual Teacher of the Year award.
This year’s winner is Christian and Lisa Jadoobirsingh, teachers at the South Cleveland Church of God, Cleveland, TN. Their pastor, Reverend Chris Moody, remarks, “CJ and Lisa are faithful, creative, using a lot of various props and methods in their teaching. They are vital our ministry at South Cleveland. We have gained many new young families because of their teaching. This couple is attracting their kids.
