You coordinate for the space for ESL School; you provide the place where we hope to see the Spirit work. This is not the same as the ESL School Host volunteer who actually sets it up. This role is purely administrative and could even be done remotely.

Summary of goals

  • Regularly pray that your ESL School location would be a place where the Spirit dwells and works.
  • Coordinate with outside organization to provide the facilities where the ESL School can meet.
  • This coordination happens in 2 phases:
    • May-July: during the summer for the fall launch of school.
    • Sept-May: during the regular school year as class needs change.

ESL School Welcome Team

Our ESL Schools are our most important venue for demonstrating the love of Christ to new international friends. It requires many different functions to support the small groups (ESL Classes) that meet. The members of the Operations Team provide that.

The ESL School Support Team is unique in that there are a variety of roles or “hats” that need to be worn if the School is going to be sustainable and students and volunteers are not going to fall through the cracks. Each team member will wear more than one hat and may take them on and off even during the course of one session of School on a given day.

Functions / goals the ESL School needs in order to love well. This does not include overall ESL ministry roles that cover both Schools such as mobilization, pedagogy, training, etc.

We all long to see our halls and classrooms filled with students. But before we run out to try and find new students, we need to steward well the ones God has already entrusted to us.
