The Position
Short-term teachers travel with the established long-term team into the Mongolian countryside to conduct summer English classes in various locations. You would work alongside Mongolian teachers to teach interactive English classes to children. The students who attend these trainings usually go through the program over 3 summers, so if you wanted to return in future summers, you would have the chance to continue building the relationships you began the year prior. Also, many of the Mongolian co-teachers who will teach with you are new believers or may not have ever been discipled before, so you would have great opportunities to disciple them as you live, travel, and work together.
This trip is about 5 weeks long, from early June to mid/late July. The team in Mongolia would provide lodging/accommodations and handle all the details of food, transportation, etc. This is a support-based position. To participate in this program, you would need to raise about $3500 (the exact amount is based on exactly how long you come so they can arrange housing for the full time, but this is based on coming for 5 weeks), plus the cost of your airfare, which ranges (typically $1300-$2000).
The Need
ABWE’s (Association of Baptists for World Evangelism) team in Mongolia has a great need for short term teachers for their summer teaching program in the Mongolian countryside. This is a great opportunity to meet a practical need (English education) while building relationships and providing good standing in the community for our team to share the Gospel, disciple believers, and train church leaders.
The Impact
Through this Christian NGO, children have the chance to learn some extra skills, like English during the summer. This improves their opportunities in the future to have better jobs or education. You will not only be impacting the children, but also the lives of their families by finding opportunities to share about the good news or connecting with local Christians and disciplining them.
