| Woodward Park Baptist Church, Fresno is involved in a new ministry to international students: Conversational English Partners. The vision for this ministry is to use a comprehensive English language ministry in the Fresno area to reach short- term internationals in order to befriend, evangelize, and send them home as "missionaries" to their own country. Conversational English Partners is an intermediate and advanced conversational English program for international students in the greater Fresno area. The ministry is offered once a week for about an hour. As added incentive to international students is that a free American meal if offered every week prior to the program. Conversational English Partners is an effective way for international students to practice English conversation skills in a small group setting. One American partner meets with one to three international students and practices conversation. The groups meet men with men women with women. Different topics are offered every week. The topics are secular, but church members share Christ as the opportunity arises. During the last 5 - 10 minutes of the program, every American partner prays aloud for any prayer requests his/her international partner shares. Church members need no prior ESL training to work in the program. Susan Jones of Woodward Park Baptist is leading this ministry. The Temple Skate Church | ||||||
