Are you looking for some paid OE and the opportunity to serve the Lord in Missions at the same time?

What about Thailand?

As I have often mentioned in my newsletters, John Middlewood, who with his wife Maeo ministers in the northeast of Thailand at the AC “Christian Mission Naratchakwai”, is heavily involved with teaching English in many elementary and secondary schools in the area around the city of Nakhon Phanom (NKP). His efforts to help raise the standard of English in the schools of the area have brought him into a close relationship with Education Department officials and principals and teachers of the province, and he is highly respected by those in educational circles.

John has recently sent the following advertisement seeking teachers.

These positions would be ideal for Christian teachers, who would be willing to assist John and Maeo with the ministries at the Christian Mission Naratchakwai during weekends and holiday times.

Advertisement for Teachers

Teachers will be working in Northeast Thailand – the poorest part of Thailand and the province of Nakhon Phanom – the poorest province in Northeast Thailand. Positions will be in village and small town high schools which either have or want to start an English medium or Mini English program.

Determination and creativity will be a must; ability to rough it and enjoy adventure and challenge will also help.

Opportunities to help children abound, and those accepted will be challenged daily to be creative in their approach to teaching the children.
