Christian Teachers in Action (CTIA) urged Christian teachers across Jamaica to join in prayer this past week September 21-25, 2020. They presented a number of prayer points to the public.
Christian Teachers in Action (CTIA) is a prayer, discipleship, equipping and fellowship collaborative movement and institution in Jamaica. CTIA was founded 14 years ago by Wolmer’s Girls School teacher, Donnette Norman.
“Christian Teachers in Action is aimed at having our teachers foster a wholesome relationship among each other, share creative ideas, be disciple and equipped for service and cooperately invoke God for divine intervention in our schools, colleges, universities and churches across Jamaica” says Norman.
Mrs. Norman further mentions that the Movement is affiliated with Passion and Purity, Bible Teachers International, TBC Radio among others.
The cataclysmic prayer sessions took place via the Zoom platform daily between 6am and 6pm. They were led by teachers including Master Educator Mrs. Elaine Foster Allen, JTA President Mr. Jasford Gabriel and Education Officer, Dr. Clover Flowers, who is also VP of this blessed movement.
