Acts 29 Fellowship is currently looking for volunteers for its Men’s ESL program. Volunteer positions are open for multiple commitment levels. We would appreciate any commitment from occasional help to teaching commitments of more than six hours a week. We are looking for men who are passionate lovers of Jesus Christ, affirm our Statement of Faith and are available for at least part of our current class time schedule. Our current ESL class schedule is 9:30-11:30 on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, but opportunities in the afternoon and evening will be opening as well. English, ESL/TESL, or Education degrees and training would be helpful, but are not necessary.
We are looking for teachers who can make a consistent commitment to teach or assist an entire class and maintain a strong Christian witness. In addition to classroom opportunities, we would be blessed by teachers and assistants who are available to visit with students in their homes and engage in cross-cultural relationships. If you are a proficient English speaker and reader, have a living relationship with Jesus Christ that you are willing to share, and a warm heart you are perfectly qualified to teach English with us. On-the-job training in teaching English and cross-cultural ministry will be a part of the process. Please pray about this opportunity and tell your friends, churches and church members.

Kingdom Building cannot be done alone. The Lord has mandated very clearly our need for one another. The work being done in Hamtramck is extensive, time consuming and extremely rewarding. If you desire to volunteer your time, talents, or service you will not be sorry. The opportunity you will experience can be life changing.

If you have an afternoon, day, or week to give to Acts 29, we will put your efforts to good use. We will train you in any of the areas we are currently working in, and we will do our best to come alongside you so that you do not feel overwhelmed or misused.
