• ESL Ministry Resources Website access

  • I hope you’re well. We teach ESL to internationals in our area in hopes of introducing them to Christ. I’d love to have access to your ESL Ministry Resources Website.

  • How do I do that?

  • Thank you for your inquiry about the EFCA ReachGlobal Ministry Resources Site. You can register for the site by going to: https://www.cvent.com/d/mgq8zv

  •  After you register, you will receive an email that will tell you how you can access the site. Hopefully you will find many helpful resources to assist you as you seek to reach out in International Student Ministry.

  • Jonathan, I think we may have one of the same supporting churches—the EFC in Cedar Falls, IA? Am I correct? I think we have connected briefly before at one time. Anyway, I hope that you will find the resources helpful. Let me know if there are other ways our ESL Ministry Resource Team can be of help. Besides my ministry for EFCA ReachGlobal with English teaching ministries, my husband, Gary, and I also do international student ministry at Iowa State University. We have English classes at our church and what we call “Coffee, Tea and English” on campus—it is a conversation group where we match Americans with internationals and work through handouts with questions, etc. on different themes each week. Our numbers are way down after COVID for Coffee, Tea and English, which is not totally surprising for a few different reasons, but our  English classes are doing quite well.

  • Blessings on you and your ministry!

  • Marilyn,
