Victorious Educator Ministries (VEM) is a non-profit organization and forum to support, empower, ignite and encourage educators around the world to live out their Christian faith in the workplace – in front of kids, parents, and colleagues.
A Message from Jackie
"Many years ago the Lord laid a calling on my heart to begin a ministry for Christian educators. I truly believe that our schools are a mission field. Schools across the world are filled with Godly Christian educators who need support, encouragement and equipping. Being an educator today can feel overwhelming. It can be difficult to figure out the boundaries of what we can and can’t do or say. It is easy to just close our doors, do our jobs and go home at night. However, if the light of Jesus lives in our hearts, we are called to let that light shine."
Whatever you do, do your work heartily as for the Lord rather than for men knowing that from the Lord you will receive the word of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.
Colossians 3:23-24
So many children (adults too) need to see the love of Jesus in us. There is so much we can do! All of us have experienced many life lessons that can encourage others. This ministry seeks to develop a forum through which Christian educators can accomplish these aims:
-
Share how God is moving and working in their schools
-
Seek guidance through God’s Word
-
Support each other through prayer
-
Grow spiritually in our walk with Christ
-
Gather together to build one another up
Let your light so shine before men that they will see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:16

Dr. Jackie Minor recently retired as the Director of District Implementation for Kagan Professional Development. She spent the first 22 years of her educational career in public education serving as an elementary school teacher, middle school English teacher, K–12 gifted education facilitator, building principal, school improvement specialist, and assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction.
For the past 16 years Jackie has worked with educators across the United States and 8 foreign countries. Everywhere she goes she finds Christian educators who need encouragement and support. There is no short supply of those who need Jesus. Schools across the world are a mission field ripe for harvesting.
Jackie desires to see each Christian educator live victorious Christian lives so that others can experience the peace, love and joy that only comes from knowing Christ.
For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 2:10
