I love internationals!

Today Josh and I got to teach the English language learner's Bible Study at our church. Our regular Sunday school class is the Cross-Cultural Discipleship class where we get to discuss the Word with people from all over the globe and is such a learning time for us! I've taught ESL before when I volunteered with World Relief when we lived in Fort Worth. I LOVED working with my Cuban refugee friends and I'm so glad for the opportunity to get involved in similar service again!
This morning we taught a gentlemen who is a visiting professor at OSU from South Korea. He is here for a year working on an engineering research project with another Korean professor involved in the Discipleship class. He has good academic knowledge of English but needs help with his conversation. We are going through the book of Luke and it is a learning experience studying the Bible with someone whose culture and language is so different from your own and from the Jewish culture of the Bible. We were able to meet his wife and teen-aged daughter who came to the main service and I invited them to come to the Bible study also. Neither he nor his daughter are believers, but his wife went to a Catholic church in Korea. They were all very sweet and I look forward to getting to know them better and hopefully getting to teach them English whenever the regular teachers are gone!
