TEACHING ENGLISH IN MISSIONS

OM has many opportunities for those with qualifications and/or experience in teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL/TESOL). In Middle Eastern countries, there’s scope to use your TEFL skills as a ‘tentmaker’; a job teaching English can help provide a visa in countries where access for missionaries is restricted. In Central Asia, teaching English is part of the community development ministry of our teams and a service appreciated by local governments. In Eastern Europe, teaching English is a way of developing relationships with local people, and often wins opportunities for witness. In Russia, for example you can “teach English & share your faith at the same time, either alongside a lively Russian church plant near St.Petersburg or as part of a pioneer team in the Siberian city of Novosibirsk”.

We’re also looking for people who can teach English to those from non-English speaking countries preparing to go into missions. A Brazilian aiming to go to the Middle East, for example, often needs to learn English first; he’ll be taught Arabic through the medium of English.

We urgently need TEFL teachers at our main language school in Rhyl, North Wales, UK. Students come to Rhyl from Europe, Latin America and Korea; many of them go on to serve with OM in fields around the world. You can help equip them for future service. Contact mike.atkin@rhyl.om.org for more details.

You can find more details about TEFL opportunities on OM by going to the Job Bank on this website. Go to ‘view’ and type in ‘TEFL’ in the keyword search box. Or contact ipd@om.org for more information.

There are many more opportunities to serve with OM listed in the JOB BANK on this web site. Log in to the Job Bank and go to ''view" to search for the appropiate ministry or country. None of these 'jobs' on OM provide a salary; OM team members are required to raise financial support to cover their expenses.

Many National Offices have their own web site. Please contact them for more detailed information about the services in their countries.
