Use English as a way to share the Gospel
Around the globe!
People worldwide are clamouring to learn English so they can get better jobs and better pay. Speaking English is an important skill for so many reasons.
It’s exciting to see how the Holy Spirit is using this desire to learn English to bring people into a relationship with Jesus Christ. God is working through teachers, camp counsellors, and interns who have answered the call to go and serve.
Here’s how God could use you as a witness:
- through excellence in your teaching and work
- through your life and lifestyle—by modelling fairness, care, concern for and acceptance of individuals, Christ-honouring behaviour, and by showing Christ’s love
- through sharing about your relationship with Christ as opportunities open in discussions with campers, students, and colleagues
