The 2013 Ireland Missions Exposure Team is a great opportunity for Christians of all ages to come and be a part of what GOD is doing to reach out with the Gospel in Ireland. This summer team is a great opportunity to take part in practical work around our headquarters at Charleville, take part in door to door literature distribution, open air preaching, street tract distribution, and child evangelism. The 2013 Missions Exposure Team is an opportunity to experience serving the LORD in a safe, English speaking, European country under the supervision of seasoned missionaries who will lead teams in organized outreaches throughout the summer. The summer team also serves as a spiritual 'hothouse' as we immerse team members into an environment of total discipleship, prayer meetings, Bible studies, and service.

If you are interested in applying for the 2013 Missions Exposure Team please write to Lucas Richard at: irelandoutreach@gmail.com and request an application and information on how you can be a part of what GOD is doing in Ireland with Ireland Outreach International.

Director/Interim Director/Co-Director. This is equivalent to the American "principal" and is the person responsible for the academic quality of the teachers, disciplinary environment of the school, managerial supervision of the office, and last but not least, the spiritual atmosphere of the school.

Night School Manager.  We would like to open a night school for adults that would help people acquire new skills in the marketplace (computer, English, etc.). This night school would also serve as a front for evangelistic work. We need someone with managerial skills to run this new branch of the school.

Urgent need for teachers, teachers’ aides, administrative assistant, maintenance:

Teachers (Pre-school - 10th Grade)
We are expecting more students and so we will need teachers for every level.  We will need a few pre-school teachers.  Pre-school is the part of the school that is currently growing faster.

Teachers' Aide
We need someone who is available to photocopy for the teachers, monitor the students at lunch and recess, run errands for the office, be a hall monitor when nobody else is available, substitute teach when a teacher is sick, assist with events, help as a librarian and so on.

Administrative Assistant
Our biggest need is for a secretary, and not knowing Portuguese is okay -- if she/he knows Spanish or any other Latin language.  This administrative assistant will be working mostly with paper and most of it will be in English.  The little Portuguese she/he will find will be similar to Spanish.  In any case we, have people who can help translate anything in those rare occasions in which the secretary will need it.

Maintenance Supervisor
We need someone to keep the schoolhouse and the grounds in top shape.  We are in a large house that dates back to about 1760.  There is a lot of maintenance -- especially in the winter.  The grounds are quite large and have a lot of grass, bushes, decorative trees, and a field.  We also have a pool that needs constant care.

Timing
Ideally, we need all the missionary staff to be here by mid-August so as to prep everybody for the beginning of the school year (early September).  Before coming out, we would like to get to know those interested in joining us so we can try to ascertain the Lord's will in this regard.

Material Needs of Missionary Staff
This is a ministry of faith and by faith.  No one at this ministry receives a salary, and the reality is that the school cannot afford it.  Living standards in Portugal are low (the second lowest in the European Union).  Minimum wage is €485/month and people actually live on that.  Average income is about €840/month.  An apartment in this area runs for about €250/month to €450/month or higher, depending on several factors.  Groceries tend to be less expensive than in North America.  Fuel and electronics are more expensive than in the US and Canada.

Flexibility
The most important quality we need is flexibility.  We don't know how many people will join us, so we may find ourselves understaffed again.  In other words, if the Lord blesses us with a secretary, but not with a Teachers' Aide, the secretary may need to do some of the Teachers' Aide's work.  Or all the teachers may need to help with the office if we aren't blessed with an administrative assistant.  ...And so on.

This is not a school for missionary kids or for elite expatriate families who are here temporarily working for a big corporation or the military.  The families we serve are poor families, mostly immigrants from Africa, eastern Europe or South America.  By providing education to them we are able to share the Gospel, be involved in their spiritual growth, and give them a chance by human measures to acquire a better standard of living in the future.  We hope that the Lord is using us to prepare Kingdom workers for the future.

 We have a huge need for an Educator to come out and teach Burundian elementary school students at the assembly-run Discovery School in Bujumbura, Burundi for any and all trimesters of the 2013-2014 school year.  The school uses an English immersion program, but English is the fourth language for most of the Burundian staff, so having a native-English speaker would be a huge asset.  Also, most of the local staff do not have education training, so if they could rotate through the trained educator's classroom and serve as his/her assistant, they would learn SO much. Even if someone could only come out for one three-month long trimester it would be a huge blessing.

LONG-TERM HELP NEEDED: We are looking for a full-time couple willing to serve on the premises by living upstairs in a missionary situation. Their role would be to help coordinate the work in fellowship with the college team and assembly board of directors. If apologetics in a post modern world, discipleship, evangelism and hospitality run in your blood, and if teamwork is your cup of tea, why not consider applying for this position with your spouse?  If you are a couple, (children welcome), the commitment would preferably be two to four years. Some French speaking or at least a will to learn would be helpful.

SHORT-TERM HELP NEEDED: If you are interested in short-term missions, or if you are single and only have a couple of semesters to dedicate to this task, you could also be a full-timer on the team, living either on the premises or in a fraternity of Christian college students. It is also possible to help in this work by coming as a college student and give some of your free time to help out in the ministry. 

If you want to know more, drop us an email: contact@lefeu.org, and we’ll organize an interview by Skype. You can also visit our Website: www.lefeu.org.

Is someone willing to come and help by working in schools and many other activities?

 I have been in Honduras since 2000, first helping in a private evangelical school. In 2007, I believe the Lord guided me to work in the public schools. Since then I have presented the gospel in Centro Basico, 18 de Mayo, which is from first to ninth grade. This year another has opened the door, Fidelina, Nora de Melgar, Nuevo Amanecer, so three total. As you can see there is a lot of opportunities, we have to keep His work going, and reach those precious souls with the gospel of Christ.

There is accommodation for a couple, or for one or two girls. Please contact Elvia for further information.

We have beautiful beaches, people willing to listen, and a great opportunity to serve our Great Savior.

(Updated FEB 2013) Pioneer Evangelism, Construction, and Medical, Teams and Individuals:  We are open to short and long term individuals and short term teams that wish to be involved in pioneer evangelism in unreached and new areas.  Also for those who wish to be involved in other Christian endeavor such as camps, children, church affairs, working on construction projects, community projects or like activities. 

A team of 5 - 10 people are going to Paraguay in Nov. 2013  for 2 weeks of medical work in pioneer areas.  We will be helping with the evangelistic side.  About half of this team will be medical people and half logistics, helpers etc. There may be openings for this team.

UPDATE: We completed door-to-door calendar work in the NE town of Pedro Juan Caballero in early 2013. We handed out 300 calendars to houses and businesses, making quite a few contacts including a group of Bengali Muslims. We intend to follow up and form teams to continue door-to-door and follow-up with seekers.  P. J. Caballero is a growing commercial center and fairly well off on the Brazilian border but also a center for drug and arms traffic and has a history of violence.  The area of Northern Paraguay is the home for the Communist Guerrilla Group EPP.  Individuals or a team could help us in this endeavor. 

We are always open to people interested in helping us out here.  Paraguay has the lowest percentage of evangelicals of any country in South America.  The need is here.

Wroclaw Language School is located in Wroclaw, Poland.  All of our teachers are evangelical Christians.  The motto of our school is "Proclaiming Christ through Teaching English."  The goal is to teach English at a high standard using the communicative approach, but more importantly, to develop friendships with students in order to share the Gospel. This is done throughout the academic year individually and by group outreach activities at the language school.  You do not need to speak Polish or have previous teaching experience to teach at the school.  We do prefer a two year commitment.

From Kelvin: “I am looking for a music teacher to come and teach the orphans at Ipusukilo Children's Centre how to play music.It must be someone with a heart for children. To teach these underprivileged children to play music from the heart. Teach them to play musical instruments and perhaps write music later on. It’s got to be someone coming for over one year.

And I will need to source music instruments (violins, recorders, guitars, piano, drums). Nothing beats the power of Christian music.”
