Christian

Corresponders

          Christian Corresponders (Pen Pals)

            Does your church have any young people in grades 7 – 12?  They might be interested in corresponding with students in China, Russia, or another country who are taking English and want Pen-pals who speak English. 

            Each year the Fellowship of Baptist Educators sponsors a pen-pal program to correspond with students in English classes abroad.  Teachers inChina,Russia, and other countries encourage their students to write as a way of improving their English skills.  We like the program because it gives our young people an opportunity to broaden their horizons and to be a Christian influence to students who live in countries where mission work is restricted.  

            John Carter who leads the program reports that in 2007 young people in America and Canada provided only half of the letters that were requested, so he invites all youth leaders to contact him about participating in 2008.  Any group or individual who would like to participate should contact him at (205) 822-4106, or email him at

j-fcarter@juno.com for instructions.  He will send full information about how and what to write, along with when and where to send the letters.
