Career Possibilities

“I am currently waiting to go on the mission field.  I am going to Brazil to teach ESL at a Christian school called Amazon Valley Academy.  I am going through a mission organization called Network of International Christian Schools. This mission organization only hires people with a bachelor degree and only certified teachers.  Without my ESL certification I wouldn’t have this opportunity!  I hope this encourages those that are in the ESL certification/endorsement program and also sparks interest in other students!”
