Ministry Focus
Education
At ABWE, we believe the foundation of faith is understanding, and the foundation of understanding is education. Missionary schools provide opportunities for teachers to improve the lives of children around the world by helping them find fulfillment through Christ.
We are educating missionary kids around the world. From our Christian schools in Chile, Portugal, and the Balkans, our missionary teachers focus on a biblically-based education which is integral to raising up strong followers of Christ. It also integrates seamlessly into our mission to advance the gospel through church planting teams filled with missionaries who employ a variety of skills through many different platforms.
Make An Impact Through Education
Opportunities To Teach & Serve Abroad
Missionary teachers have the unique opportunity to use their classrooms as places for evangelism and discipleship. Along with teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic, missionary teachers develop relationships and are able to disciple their students to follow Jesus Christ, who is the ultimate teacher. We offer many opportunities for teachers to minister on the mission field, including:
- Public schools
- Private schools
- Bible classes
- Christian schools
- English as a second language (ESL)
- Missionary kid education
- Pastor training
- Seminary teaching
Quality education through missions work allows teachers to open doors for children in remote areas or in countries with challenging education standards.
What To Expect As a Missionary Teacher
Cross-cultural ministry at international schools provides ample opportunity to foster growth in children preaching the gospel. In this role you can expect to:
- Work in a Christian school where you can focus on teaching and guiding children personally.
- Create lesson plans and activities.
- Teach academic subjects and adjust your lessons to fit each child’s needs.
- Assign homework, give tests, and help with standardized testing.
- Provide homework assignments.
- Keep track of student progress and records.
- Keep your teaching certification up-to-date and join in professional training.
- Get involved in community activities and ministries based on your interests and available time.
It’s your classroom and you’re building a community where the gospel is taught and Christ is served. You will be provided with the tools and educational resources you need to effectively teach in one of the local schools we work with.
For certain positions, a college degree, teaching experience, or teaching credentials will be required in the form of an education degree or certification.
If you’re a teacher who loves teaching students about Christ and providing educational support, we’ve got a place for you on the mission field. Join the ABWE team of educators in cross-cultural ministry.
