Jannis Miori is one of seven children, six girls, and one boy. She experienced a lack of security and chaotic conditions as her father would abandon the family for a couple of years then return only to be ugly until he would leave again. This continued until she left home at 18 to live with an older sister. Her brother-in-law paid for her to attend college where she graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in Microbiology, and also met her future husband. They married and soon started a family. Jannis found herself with two small children and not quite sure of how to give them the security and peace that she had lacked during her raising. Her search for answers led her to a relationship with Jesus Christ that changed everything. She now had the guidance she needed to mentor, model and train her children. Jannis has been involved in others areas as well as raising her children. She has served as a women's coordinator for a church, wrote Bible study curriculum, and taught women's Bible study. She also served with her husband as Young Couples Coordinator, and Singles sponsor as well as teaching child training classes. During her years as an educator, she taught in both private and public schools. In private school, she taught self-contained fourth and fifth grade. In public school, she taught sixth and also eighth-grade science. During her middle school teaching years she also served a National Junior Honor Society sponsor, Uteach science camps sponsor, mentored new teachers, Science department head, wrote science enrichment curriculum, and was nominated for Teacher of the Year. Her experience with students taught her many valuable lessons. Each one that walks into the classroom has a gifting to help them through life and also be a valuable person to society. The role of mentoring is to help them discover and bring out that gifting, then train them to use it effectively in society. Each and every student is unique and to be valued, but many times needs guidance to stay on track for a successful future. Working with children is working with eternal beings that will live forever somewhere. She learned it was a privilege to speak into the lives of the next generation.
