As we enter the 21st century, Christian education in most of our churches is in a tragic state. Less than a third of our adults participate in any type of Christian education experience. Many of our children and youth classes are ripe with boredom, mediocrity and irrelevancy.

As a Christian educator, I'm committed to teaching...for a CHANGE! Learning is change, when you think about it. A change in knowledge. A change in attitude. And, finally, a change in lifestyle. Too many churches reduce Bible learning to competitions, prizes and gimmicks. Remember, what you WIN'EM with is what you KEEP'EM with! True learning, however, is what's left when the facts are forgotten.

Perhaps I can interest you and your church in hosting a TEACHING..for a CHANGE! Workshop. This 4 1/2 hour workshop is geared to reinvent Christian education for the 21st century. We'll address the current crisis in Christian education and I'll give your teachers the basic tools to teach for SUCCESS! It's highly-motivational, insightful and a excellent training for teachers of any age and experience. Home educators enjoy it. School teachers will too!

The best part is it's AFFORDABLE. Only $10 per teacher, plus my travel expenses (mileage/airfare, lodging and meals). Fifteen person minimum required to host. Call me at St. Louis Christian College (314/837-6777, ext. 1521) or write me: rchromey@juno.com

I'd love to partner with you as we all teach...for a CHANGE! Please understand that this workshop books quickly and months in advance. I'm usually booking a full 8-10 months ahead of the current date.
