AIM currently has 572 children from around the world serving with their families in Africa. The majority of these children are either homeschooled or attend Christian boarding schools. For that to happen, and for those children to flourish, we need missionary teachers. Homeschooling doesnโt have to be carried out by parents. And itโs not always carried out at home! But a missionary teacher, teaching the children of their team mates can mean the difference between a whole team struggling or thriving.
Children living away from home in boarding schools are in desperate need of godly role models. Just as those their parents are working among need to hear the good news of Jesus, so do their children away at school. Through your life, ministry and service, could you have a vital impact in sharing the gospel with young people?
If you feel called to teaching, but donโt think that you could serve through teaching in a boarding school or through homeschooling, there are plenty more opportunities to get involved. Could you teach English to adults, and whilst doing so, share with them the words of life? If youโre a teacher why not check out the open opportunities now, and discover Godโs calling on your life?
