English Teacher
Thailand
Purpose
In partnership with our National Partner, FGAT, this opportunity in Thailand focuses on a church-based ESL outreach, with a wide demographic from children to adults. Through their churches and relationships with local schools they have been able to extend their reach and impact.
English has become one of the primary world languages and many Thai students are now studying in English schools throughout the country. Live in the mountains, the city or near the ocean. The door is open for you to reach the heart of these Thai children, parents and into the lives of those who are within the Educational Community. With less than 1% Christian, many are waiting to experience the love of Christ for the first time. We need qualified teachers to become part of the Educational Community in various communities throughout Thailand.
These teachers will become full time personnel for a local school but will also serve as a relational bridge between the school and the church. Opportunities for training of teachers or government personnel may arise through involvement in the community as well as local church ministry involvement. Salaries (at local salary rates) may be available, depending on location, and at the decision of the local school.
Skills
Undergraduate teaching degree is a minimum requirement. Some teaching experience preferred. Must be available for a full school term, which starts in May of each year. Opportunities may be available for those available to teach one term (May-September or November-March) but preference given to one year terms. An ability to be flexible, good interpersonal skills, and willingness to engage cross culturally will be needed.
Support
Global workers on-field would be main support, but if not on location, support will also be provided through local pastors and school leaders. Some locations provide housing or the local team will assist you in finding local accommodations. On-field team will provide orientation to the local community, local church and pastors. Salaries (at local salary rates) may be available, depending on location, and at the decision of the local school. However some fundraising will be required to cover additional expenses.
Our Mission Global team will walk with you along the way – from application to deployment. Training, administrative support and mission coaching will be provided, along with assistance for promotional and fundraising efforts.
