ATLANTA – Leaders from the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship recently signed memorandum of understandings with the Korea Baptist Press, representing official partnerships between the organizations and churches that partner with them.
In partnership with the Korea Baptist Press (KBP), the Fellowship will help connect teachers with opportunities in South Korea. The South Korean government has reported a need for more than 50,000 English teachers. Teachers, who must have a college degree, serve for one year, teaching English classes during the week and connecting with local churches on the weekend to assist in ministry. The positions are paid and include airfare, housing and food.
Yoo Yoon, the Fellowship’s Korean initiative consultant assistant specialist, said that among the students wishing to take English Bible classes are refugees from North Korea.
“We are hoping that many individuals in our CBF churches will sense a calling to this ministry of teaching English in Korea and respond,” said Rob Nash, CBF global missions coordinator. “It is a unique opportunity to work alongside our Korean partners in sharing the good news of Jesus Christ there.”
