Kibo No Oka

1^st & 2^nd grade class: 4 boys, 3 girls (6-8 years old)

2^nd & 3^nd grade class: 8 girls (7-9 years old)

4^th & 5^th grade class: 1 boy, 4 girls (9-11 years old)

For the last two days, I've been traveling to Kibo No Oka church, in the southern district of Fukuzumi to teach 4 English classes to children between the ages of 4-11 - all non-Christian kids. I was so glad to meet Harumi Sawamoto-san, who has been reaching out to the community by teaching English and Chapel Time to children for over 10 years.

English Classes at Nishi Church

One of the aims of fmZERO is to partner with evangelistic local churches in reaching out to the local community. The most obvious vehicle to do so is through English classes taught by a native English speaker.

Nishi Church has been my placement church for the last year, so it was a real privilege to be serving them through this ministry.

It's a little sad that today I had my last set of classes. I've had a lot of fun teaching English conversation, learnt a lot about how to teach the bible in simple English and made some new friends in the process.
