When students sign up for English classes, they need to be assessed in order to determine what level they should be in. When they are in a class that is a good fit for them, it helps them stay with us.
We need 100-200 volunteers to love well in light of all the internationals among us. The Spirit has a plan where the gifts of believers are matched with the needs around us. You can help us find those fits by mobilizing volunteers. Watching the Spirit work is a job to them and us!
Prayer is our first and main work for everyone, but it helps to have someone who thinks only for this and works to nurture more prayer for Link as a whole.
ESL is our biggest way of serving our international friends. But without the behind the scenes administrative support, they suffer because they don't have the tools they need and the volunteers cannot serve them well. You help to solve this problem!
Facilitate Link’s ability to meet mercy related needs of students.
The internet is a prime way that we connect with and serve new international friends and volunteers. And yet there is much more we could do to serve and connect.
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.
Provide coaching support to ESL Class Ministry Teams in their accomplishment of the Ministry Team 5 goals: prayer, English, relationship, spiritual intentionality, and coordination.
Any Link role that interacts with an international has a responsibility to honor Christ and serve well with other members of Link.
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.
One of our goals for our ESL ministry is to create a context for friendship. Social events are a great context to do that.
By serving the needs of children we actually serve whole families. But we must do so in a way that is safe for all involved. This coordination role helps to ensure we have quality child care workers in place.
