Friendship Partner for international military students

International military leaders come to the fort for training and would love to have a local friend. As a Friendship Partner, you are committing to making yourself available as a friend – to offer friendship and hospitality. You are not committing to an unusual investment of time, money, or other resources. Being a Friendship Partner is not the same as hosting an exchange student or sponsoring a foreign visitor. It is friendship, plain and simple.

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.

ESL School Leader

ESL is the primary means by which Link connects with and serves internationals in our area. The two ESL School Leaders lead the morning & evening ESL schools, supporting volunteers and leading them to serve the students well, for their salvation, our greater joy, and God’s greater glory. As leader of a school, the buck stops here for all areas of ministry. Assistant School Leader has only some of the responsibilities as School Leader.
