Have you ever wanted to join a mission team you knew was helping to fulfill strategic mission goals in a country? Would you like to help minister to physical and spiritual needs in Nicaragua? Read on!
This MOST Ministries ESL team will do half day programs, which will be held in schools twice each day. The sessions are filled with lessons in Bible reading, grammar, vocabulary, idioms, and writing; but that is only half the fun! There can also be arts, crafts, music, drama, and recreation mingled in with the lessons. Typically there are 100-150 students participating in the program.
Lessons are taught using a Christian curriculum that allows small personalized classes. MOST Ministries provides the curriculum for the camp and a MOST team leader provides pre-field training to team member on how to teach the lessons.
