Online Conversation Partner, Guide My Words, Virginia

 Description

International students come to Guide My Words' website looking for native English speakers to meet with them 
online to practice the English they already know.  They have spent a considerable amount of time in learning 
English in formal education settings but want to become more comfortable speaking with native English speakers.  



This is a unique opportunity to share your faith with the nations from the comfort of your own home!  



Some students may wish to receive Bible lessons and these are available for the Conversation Partner to share 
with their student.



Some students may request only an email exchange as their schedules would not permit a regular meeting time 
online.  This would be more of a pen-pal/key-pal arrangement but will still provide ample opportunity to assist 
the student in becoming more comfortable with using English.



Some students contact Guide My Words soley to learn more about Christianity and to develop a friendship with a 
Christian.  Although they still want to have English help, they are more interested in understanding who Jesus 
is and what Christianity is all about.

 Requirements 

Please note that all volunteers interacting with the students must agree with what we believe.  All of our 
volunteers are born-again Christians as described in Romans 10:9-10, John 3, and Ephesians 2:8-9.



We require two references.  At least one of these should be someone you have worked with in a ministry 
setting.



Please visit our website (www.guidemywords.com) and complete the Volunteer Registration Form found on the 
site.  Thank you!



Our Conversation Partners must be native English speakers as this is the request of our students.  You do not 
need to know any other languages (but please tell us if you do).



We are asking for you to commit your reasonable time and attention to meeting with your assigned student and 
attempting to develop a friendship that will allow you to serve them in Jesus' name.  



Should the appropriate time present itself we ask that you share your faith with the student and answer any 
questions they may ask regarding Jesus and the Bible.  



If at any time, you require additional help with a question from your student, we ask that you contact your 
supervisor at Guide My Words for further direction.  



You will remain in constant contact with your supervisor and share with him/her the progress you have made 
with your student as well as any questions/concerns you may have.

References from people who have done Short Term Missions with this organization before are available upon 
request. Submit "I Want to Volunteer!" to receive more information.
