English Learning for Missions (ELM)

Do you wish you could express yourself better and more confidently in English?

Do you sometimes feel frustrated because you just can’t find the right words to connect with someone?

Do you often feel blocked in your ministry because you can’t communicate the way you’d like to?

Are you preparing to go serve the Lord in a country where you’ll need to speak English?

Then our ELM Program is just what you’ve been looking for.

The EML is a 3-month intensive program that uses a variety of approaches and learning styles to help you improve your English. You’ll not only be learning in a classroom setting, but you’ll be immersed in an international environment where English is all around you and you’ll learn to communicate in everyday situations. Whatever your current level may be, you’ll make significant progress and have a lot of fun doing it.

The program is designed to help you:

• gain confidence in speaking, reading & writing in English.
• be prepared and equipped to serve God in an English-speaking/International context.
• be able to communicate more effectively in your ministry.
• get to know God better in and through the process of language learning.
