Echo Spring 2023 - 18

NAME: Rasheeda T. Newsuan ('21)
WHERE I'M FROM: The City of Brotherly Love,
Philadelphia
WHERE I LIVE: Bridgeton, N.J.
WHERE I WORK & WHAT I DO: I am the Educational
Director of an Early Learning Academy. My primary
responsibilities are supervising and monitoring
the holistic engagement of teaching and learning;
classroom management and organization; devising
curriculum and lesson planning for infants through
prekindergarten; professional development;
programming; and communication. I also have a
small graphic design business where my motto is
" Bringing one's vision to perceptible life. " Additionally, I
also established and teach a virtual discipleship group
I named " The G220 Way, " which represents Galatians
2:20. Another endeavor is establishing " Heart of God
Outreach, " providing food, clothing, biblical literature
and miscellaneous care of those in need. Having a
servant's heart, l enjoy helping in any capable capacity
to the Lord's honor and praise.
MY EDUCATION AT LBC | CAPITAL: BS in Biblical
Studies with a minor in Business Administration
HOW LBC | CAPITAL PREPARED ME TO WORK IN
EDUCATION: Having already been graced to teach,
my education at LBC contributed to substantiate this
grace, enhanced my knowledge and standard, and
afforded essential tools in which to foster the learning
of those that I teach, which includes all ages.
HOW MY LBC | CAPITAL EDUCATION MAKES AN IMPACT
IN MY LIFE: LBC was, in fact, the college I desired to attend
after high school but had not. To come full circle and
achieve it years later fulfilled that aspiration. My life has
been impacted merely by the multifaceted teaching
and overall learning experience. It has stimulated the
pursuit of obtaining an even higher level of education
for greater life-kingdom application.
GETTING MY COLLEGE DEGREE OPENED DOORS FOR ME BY: Earning this degree was aligned with God's intent. It was a
step in my continued journey ordered by Him. In my relocating to a new state, it afforded swifter hiring opportunities during
the process. It was anticipated to begin with teaching in a classroom and then move up. Instead, I began as a coordinator
of remote learning for elementary students. Subsequently, I established and facilitated a virtual S.T.E.A.M. Summer Camp and
Mentorship Program as well as a virtual adult discipleship class. The necessity for remote learning phased out, and currently
I function as a director of education.
THE BEST PART ABOUT MY JOB IS: My life being a living epistle-an example of God's compassion and grace. Although I
may not be able to openly preach Christ in this early educational community, the staff, children and their parents can see
the Word and experience the Word through me daily. As I manage, train and teach, they encounter and experience Christ
by simply being around me and doing business with me.
MY LIFE'S BIBLE VERSE IS: I have shifted from one that was once significant to an era of my life. I'll present this one: " All
Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work " (2 Timothy 3:16, 17 ESV). My Scripture as it pertains
to leading and teaching children, " Come, my children, and listen to me, and I will teach you to fear the Lord " (Psalm 34:11 NLT).
THE LAST BOOK I READ WAS: " The Watchman-The Ministry of the Seer in the Local Church " by Dr. Joe Ibojie
WHEN I HAVE 30 MINUTES OF FREE TIME, I LIKE TO: When the opportunity presents itself, primarily I will just be still and
take that time to relax with or without music. I may also read and/or journal.
