Ministry

The English language continues to be significant in social and economic development in today’s world. Teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) has been an effective tool for evangelism ever since GEM missionaries began using it more than 10 years ago. Since 1995, more than 200 North Americans have served on teams in 20 countries.
 
Why Teaching English is Effective?

• Students enjoy a fun, interesting learning environment.
• Teachers exemplify Christ’s love.
• Students are highly motivated, knowing that English is important for education and better job opportunities.
