American pen pals sought for students in China

The National Fellowship of Baptist Educators is seeking 2,000 Christians students grades 7-12 and in college to answer at least one letter each from Chinese Students studying English.

Students at participating schools in China write letters in English addressed “To My American Friend,” which are mailed to the International Book Project of Samford University.

From there, the Fellowship of Baptist Educators distributes the letters, along with guidelines for answering them.

Any individual or youth group who will promise to answer at least one letter should contact the National Fellowship of Baptist Educators with the following information: name, address and telephone of people answering the request, along with the ages of participants and the name of their organization or youth group.
