The Family Learning Center, soon to be Chiang Rai International Christian School, is looking for churches and individuals who wish to partner with them to find teachers for the 2010-2011 school year. Principal Ruth Fox, International Ministries, ABC Missionary and the faculty and staff at FLC invite you to join them in reaching children and young adults through education.

The potential for community impact through FLC/CRICS motivates all who work there.  Uniquely exciting about this opportunity is the promise that a teacher can come here with no knowledge of the Thai language, commit to only one or two years of teaching, and still make a life-changing and eternally significant impact.

How? Students from various cultures who will be future church and community leaders, both in Thailand and beyond, attend the school. Some of the children are from missionary families and thus facilitate service to the community through the love of Christ in our families’ various missions.  Some are Thai students, hearing about Christ for the first time at the school, and many have accepted Jesus as their Lord and are influencing their families.  And of course Jesus is always working and impacting this community in new ways that surprise all of us.

Long-term commitments are most desperately and immediately needed.
Are you a young single or recent college graduate? Consider taking a couple of years and spend it in beautiful Chiang Rai, Thailand.  Are you a retiree? Consider spending some of your retired years making a difference in the upcoming generation.  Our retired teacher volunteers routinely comment on how FLC/CRICS is a refreshing place for veteran teachers to use their years of skill and experience in small classrooms with well-behaved students who really want to learn.

Short-term commitments of a month or two are also available.  Short-term assignments range from substitute teaching, special projects, athletic camps, spelling bees, science fairs and outreach trips with the students.
