Teachers Needed

Hundreds of Christian teachers are needed to staff English teaching programs in China during the summer of 2000. In the land that first captured the hearts of Southern Baptists many years ago and continues to intrigue and challenge us, the vast majority of its 1.2 billion residents are still unreached.

Although many traditional evangelism methods are prohibited in China, American teachers are able to share in many ways as they participate in summer teaching programs that will help Chinese teachers of English to improve their language and teaching skills. Reports from participants in recent years have been extremely positive. Many volunteer teachers have been able to share Christ’s love in a very meaningful way.

Two primary options are available this year. China Encounter, which will last from July12 to Aug. 12, is designed for teachers who are not able to commit an entire summer, but still want to be involved in this exciting teaching opportunity. The cost is $1,500 plus international airfare. Please call 1-800-999-3113 and push 8 for further information on the one-month China Encounter program.

The second option is almost two months in length. Beginning June 17 and concluding Aug. 15, it will cost $3,780 all expenses included.

If you are willing to be a part of this Summer Teaching Program, please call 1-800-809-4637.
