WHO WE ARE
Connecting Communities.
Creating Gospel Conversations.
We are a ministry dedicated to equipping people, churches, and organizations to serve their communities through English as a Second Language (ESL). With over 20 years of experience partnering with ministries around the globe, we bring expertise, resources, and a heart for service to help others share the love of Christ in practical and meaningful ways. Our mission is to train and empower people to provide high-quality ESL classes and programs that foster connection, build community, and create opportunities for gospel conversations.
At the heart of our ministry is a passion for bringing people together. By helping churches engage with their diverse communities, we aim to foster deeper relationships, promote mutual understanding, and strengthen the church’s role as a welcoming and transformative presence. Whether it’s through workshops, consultations, or resources, we’re here to help you make a lasting impact for God’s kingdom.
Teaching English as a Second Language
An ESL (English as a Second Language) ministry is a unique outreach that serves individuals in your community who are seeking to improve their English skills. By addressing a practical need, an ESL ministry opens doors to meaningful connections with people from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. This ministry goes beyond language instruction—it’s a way to demonstrate Christ’s love through hospitality, encouragement, and genuine care. ESL ministries create spaces where individuals feel valued and welcomed, while also equipping them with the language tools they need for everyday life, work, and relationships.
At its core, an ESL ministry bridges gaps and builds relationships that foster understanding and trust. Whether you are looking to start an ESL program from scratch or strengthen an existing one, we are here to help. With over 20 years of experience working with churches and ministries worldwide, we offer expert training, resources, and personalized consultations to equip leaders, teachers, and volunteers to run ESL programs effectively. We also provide practical tools like curriculum recommendations, lesson ideas, and strategies for engaging students in gospel-centered conversations. An ESL ministry is not just about teaching English—it’s about building community, creating opportunities for discipleship, and being the hands and feet of Christ in your neighborhood.
Crossing Cultures Without
Crossing Borders
As former pastors and ministry leaders ourselves, we speak with hundreds of pastors each year. We understand church trends and have seen firsthand what works and what doesn’t when it comes to becoming a reproducing, disciple-making church. We’re not just another program or mission agency—we build relationships to help your church be a part of the mission God is accomplishing in North America.
