<p>Come teach English in one of the newest countries in the world! Join a team that is committed to seeing church planting movements initiated among ethnic Albanians. Since opening the English school, the team has had many opportunities to build friendships and share the Gospel!</p>
<p>Do you have a heart for students and relational evangelism? We are looking for teachers to join this team beginning in September 2012 or January 2013. ESL training is not required, but some teaching experience is helpful. Using a standard curriculum, you will teach a few classes a week freeing up the team to focus on building relationships outside of class. The school’s main focus is on teens, and they find that most of them start coming to Friday night youth group activities as well. Most life-changing ministry here takes place sipping cappuccinos in smoky coffee bars. If you have been looking for an opportunity to make a significant impact and can commit 6 month – 1 year, we would love to explore this opportunity together with you!</p>
<ul>
    <li>Teach several English classes a week to teens</li>

    <li>ESL Education Ministry – Much of the current German population and international community views Christianity as irrelevant or outdated and do not attend church. We hope to give them the desire to get back into the church in a non-threatening and inviting way by teaching English as a second language. Although taught in the German school system, many adults have forgotten what they learned and want to use English again – for traveling, communicating with international friends or for their work place. If you have a background in ESL or speak English fluently, we would love for you to help!</li>
    <li>Construction and Renovation Worker – Use your previous construction experience to develop a plan to tackle the renovation of the various ministry buildings. Estimate the cost of necessary supplies, supervise teams of volunteers that will work on the renovations and assist in all aspects of the work project.</li>

Due to a history of religion and church, the Basques have been inoculated to the truth of Scripture and they are resistant to hearing the God´s truth.
