URGENT SUMMER OPPORTUNITY TO TEACH ENGLISH IN THAILAND – Update April 30, 2015

Do you know a university student that might be up to the challenge of traveling to the other side of the world, spending the Summer of 2015 joining God in an extraordinary experience of using teaching English to build bridges to some of the least reached people groups in the world, but all in the context of a country that offers great freedom for sharing the gospel and among some of the most gracious and gentle people in the world? Let me explain why this Summer 2015 is so urgent and critical. 

Many of you know that my family is planning on going to the USA this Summer (June - August) to help our son Joshua adjust to life in the USA before starting his university studies. Joshua just turned 18 years old yesterday and has lived in Thailand since he was almost 2 years old. Due to some family illness, the folks on our team that were going to help cover some of our responsibilities had to urgently return to the US several weeks ago and will not be coming back which has created a great vacuum especially for our language school.

Would you join us in praying that God will raise up some university students from the USA who could come out the end of May and serve here until about the end of August.

We see this as an excellent opportunity to join God in what He is already doing here in Chiang Rai. Here is a picture of one of my English classes that I teach at GLS. This is my level 5 class that I teach every Tuesday and Thursday nights. 

We have 5 in the class but one was out sick the day the picture was taken. Ball, Piano, and Nok are university students and Nuey 1 and Nuey2 are high school students. This is an incredible opportunity for qualified university students who are Christian and who want to serve the Lord as a volunteer teaching English this Summer 2015 with Grace Language School and serving alongside our church called Baan Athitaan Church.
