Coming Soon: FamilyFEST!

In addition to ESL workshops that will be available this spring and summer, there's an exciting missions opportunity coming to central Wisconsin this summer! It's called FamilyFEST!

July 19-24, God's people will minister to the people of the Wisconsin Dells. The mission is lasting impact!

Every year, 3.1 million tourists come to the Dells to play. Thousands of international students come to work. And over 5,000 residents call the Dells their permanent home.

What does this mean for ESL ministries? Did you catch that "thousands of internationals..." part? Our hope is to reach out to those students through English as a Second Language classes that week. Understand that the purpose of an ESL ministry is to intentionally share the gospel of Jesus Christ as we teach English to internationals in the community. And what happens if international students surrender to Christ here in the Dells? They return to their native countries, missionaries for Jesus.

I hope to hold at least one ESL workshop this spring to equip workers for FamilyFEST. After a workshop I taught last summer, several people told me they wished they had a place where they could put their newly-learned skills to work right away, without launching an entire ministry. FamilyFEST provides that opportunity. And I pray that new teachers/missionaries would have great experiences that would spur them on to continue through new ministries.

Let me know if you'd be interested in attending a workshop...it hasn't been scheduled yet. Give me your feedback: where is the greatest need?
