This paper discusses the ministry of Holy Spirit in teaching and learning. The Holy Spirit is the catalyst in the teaching-learning process in Christian education. His work and ministry provide the spiritual distinctive that separates Christian education from education in general. The Holy Spirit as teacher is not limited by rime or space. His role as teacher permeates every aspect of the teaching-learning process. He is the agent who guides the teacher and learner into all truth. The Holy Spirit is ultimately responsible for all learning, leading people to know and apply truth. He ministers primarily through five elements of the teaching-learning process - the teacher, the learner, the curriculum, the participants, and the environment - to enable persons to mature in Christ. He is the catalyst for learning truth, no matter where it is found. Although we may never totally understand the complexity of His role in the teaching- learning process, we must continue to depend on his wisdom and power to teach and learn God's truth. It is seen that teaching is no minor phase of the Holy Spirit’s work. As the Spirit of truth, He gives understanding, wisdom, counsel, and knowledge; He imparts and appropriates truth; He teaches and guides believers into all God’s revelation; He reminds of Christ’s teachings; He announces things to come; and He reveals God’s truth to man. He convinces sinners of their guilt; He anoints or indwells believers so that they need not rely on inadequate sources for learning God’s truth; and He illuminates the minds and hearts of believers to enable them to welcome and appropriate God’s Word.
