Outreach English
In today's global economy, English has become the world's most valuable piece of "linguistic real estate." The Outreach English Class ministry mobilizes hundreds of gifted believers who lack formal English teaching experience and equips them to be involved in effective cross-cultural ministry.
Participation on a OEC ministry team generally requires a two-week overseas commitment. Teams working with missionaries and national host church leaders have used this outreach ministry in a variety of formats including overnight camp settings, day camps, as well as day or evening classes. Classes have been held in public schools, host churches, ministry centers and homes of students.
Outreach English Classes provide strategic contacts for the national church or missionary while involving North Americans in cross-culture evangelism. The pastor of a church in Slovakia said as the OEC team left, "The seeds are planted. Now we must water and bring in the Lord's harvest." Another church leader said, "This is a real big answer to prayer. Thank you so for coming. It was truly the best ministry week we have ever had."
Outreach English Classes are an extremely demanding ministry, both physically and spiritually. But past team members and national church leaders are very enthusiastic about the long-term results of these English classes. Participants receive extensive pre-field training, including a team-training weekend where they are equipped to use the curricula developed specifically for the Outreach English Class ministry.
