The Daniel Movement, formed in 2015, is a mission to empower Christian educators by rekindling their passion, calling, and courage to transform schools with God’s love and truth.  

Just as Daniel was called to stand out in a culture that mocked God, we are called to be modern-day Daniels. Working in the culture, but not  of  the culture, we want to point those around us to Christ. We offer weekend and week-long retreats for small groups, where educators can meet, exchange knowledge, and encourage one another. In addition, we provide resources and facilitate a network of teachers so educators can be encouraged and grow throughout the year.

The Daniel Movement is a „think tank“ experience in which the participants work together to answer the question: „How do we transform schools with God’s love and truth?“ The wisdom, insight, and experience educators contribute are foundational to the movement. While participants cover their costs for events (accommodation, food, supplies, etc.), the programming is provided by volunteers who raise their own support so that events can remain low-cost for all participants.

During a “Daniel Movement” event, participants will:

  • Experience an environment of support & encouragement with fellow believers.
  • Grow in your spiritual giftings, God given talents, & courage to share the Gospel.
  • Gain clarity of your legal freedoms & responsibilities in the school environment.
  • Experience a „think tank“ environment, focused on solutions, with fellow educators who can identify.
  • Prayerfully consider your God given dreams and the next steps He has for you.
  • Connect with God & create a plan for classroom & school transformation.

Join us for the next event!

Invite fellow educators and Christian speakers or recommend them to us. You can also nominate your colleagues and we will happily send them an invitation.
