Mrs. Schmidt shows God’s compassion through her listening ears. Some of the greatest needs that any child has are to be heard, understood, and accepted. Smiling from her mouth to her eyes, Mrs. Schmidt has a way of genuinely listening to the hearts of her students. And beyond the classroom, Mrs. Schmidt is committed to growing disciples who love Jesus with all their heart and are not afraid to live out their faith in their everyday lives. For the past year and a half, Mrs. Schmidt has been attending a discipleship immersion that is designed to teach church leaders a specific discipling rhythm that can be repeated over and over again to help people become closer followers of Christ.
