Another Special Life in Christ
These testimony lives are not stories of "role models". Jesus is the
role model!
These are lives wonderfully touched & changed by Jesus!
Noah Webster:
One of America’s well-known Colonial Americans
began his career as a school teacher, using the Bible as his most valued textbook. Noah
Webster was born in Connecticut and came of age during the American Revolution. He was
educated at Yale University, and when he lacked the funds for further studies, he became a
teacher.
His early impressions of Colonial classrooms were
disparaging--they were crowded, disorganized and poorly equipped. But he continued to teach
because he believed that the children of our new nation should be taught to honor God’s Word
and to learn the moral laws in the Scriptures. He also believed that Americans should have
American books from which to learn spelling and grammar. His “blue-backed speller” (so
nicknamed for its colorful cover) became the standard for school children for over 100 years.
He later developed our country’s first dictionary because he believed that all Americans
should speak distinctly American English, not British English.
Though Noah Webster is best known for his
groundbreaking work with our language, The Presidential Prayer Team acknowledges him for his
passion to teach godly values to the school children of our country. He said, “In my view,
the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all
children, under a free government ought to be instructed. . . . No truth is more evident to
my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to
secure the rights and privileges of a free people.”
