Interested in teaching missionary kids?

Did you know that one of the biggest needs on the missions field is for teachers for missionary kids? That's right - doing a job that involves you speaking your own language and doing the job you're already trained to do (I'm writing to teachers... of course there are plenty of you who are not teachers!). So, should you be interested in doing missions overseas but aren't sure how your skills as a teacher would fit into a Bible translation or church planting or medical missions organization, let me tell you, they would fit perfectly!

Should you be interested in living in Musoma, Tanzania (see hundreds of my previous blog posts for what living there is like... it's the town we used to be in!), there is a little school there, Lake Victoria Learning Center, which is in desperate need of an elementary school teacher. To learn more about this position, go here: http://www.teachers-in-service.org/lvlc_tanzania.php. To visit the blog of the teacher pictured above (my friend Lyndy), go here: http://mkteacher.blogspot.com/.

And if you're more of a big city person who'd rather be at a bigger school, teaching not only missionary kids, but children from a great variety of cultural and religious backgrounds, there is a great school in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, called Haven of Peace Academy (see picture above). It currently needs quite a few teachers, in elementary, middle, and high school levels. To learn more, go here: http://www.teachers-in-service.org/hopac_36_2.php.

I hope some of you out there might be interested! There are links to some interesting blogs and other articles at the bottom of those two websites, too, if you want to read more about teaching missionary kids.
