“Who’s been the most influential teacher in your life?” I am finding the question at the end of an article in a Reader’s Digest. (December 2012, page 83)

It says there also “Join the conversation at readersdigest.co.nz/mag.”

I have been to many schools and I have had many teachers, but the most influential teacher was Ernie Klassen (Uncle Ernie) at the Bibelschule Brake in Germany.

He did not teach the subject PERSONAL EVANGELISM, but he practiced it and he is still practicing it in Canada, where he lives now. He is preaching the Gospel wherever he goes.

MY TEACHER IS ACTUALLY GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT.

“‘When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say, for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.'” – Luke 12:11,12

“‘But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything, I have said to you.'” – John 14:26

“This is what I speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.” – First Corinthians 2:13

“But you have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, so you don’t need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you everything you need to know, and what he teaches is true – it is not a lie. So just as he has taught you, remain in fellowship with Christ.” – First John 2:27 (NLT)

God the Holy Spirit  is also the teacher  of “Uncle Ernie.”
